A 1000W inverter will only supply 8.3A and a common household extension cord could be used if desired.
And if you do use 8.3A AC the battery draw will be about 90A DC and batteries discharge in a hurry.
Any size of inverter can be used to power the trailer "whole house" as long as one limits total draw to within the inverter's rating. Before I wired my own inverter to dedicated receptacles inside the trailer I did use it to provide whole house power by simply plugging the trailer's main service cable into a 30 amp female > 15 amp male dogbone and in turn plugging that into the inverter output I had wired out to a female Leviton WetGuard receptacle. Worked just fine as long as I remembered to turn off the converter. :B
