Our coach has a 2000w inverter and runs the microwave or hair dryer just fine. Before I got a 12v TV I used to carry a 400w inverter in my truck camper, ran my computer and TV with some to spare.
Just in case you didn't know the recommended wiring size from batteries to the unit for a 2000w Xantrex/Heart inverter/charger is 4/0 with a 300A fuse, something to take into account if you're planning on using one that large.
Before you think about running AC look again at just what VintageRacer has to power his inverter and the fact that he only runs it while moving. Bottom line is to run an AC of any size long enough to do any good while parked it would take a battery bank much larger than any RV can carry.
