Missed one other comment you made in my first reply

2 House batteries (1 comes standard) with an inverter solves these problems. Quiet AC Power. 1 12V House Battery and a 1000W Pine sine wave Inverter will cost me $400 to $500.
You didn't indicate whether your RV is new or used... but in either case just adding 1 battery may not give you the desired results and battery life.
Those most successful with high draw setups use sets of matched batteries.
Matching an OEM battery may be a challenge -many are unlabeled as to their capacity - and condition is an unknown (even if the rig is new, batteries are typically abused before we ever see the rigs - often being deep discharged repeatedly on dealers lot - switches left on while not plugged in, etc... which can greatly shorten its life...)
Pairing a new battery with a degraded battery will shorten the life of the new one.
