Sure it is. Whole house or whole coach typically is what it's called. You'll want a transfer switch, either internal to the inverter or external.
It's debatable on power consumption between a huge inverter and a tiny one on the same load. That's not comparing apples to apples, as the huge inverter typically has more protection circuits, monitoring features, etc, that all cost power. if you could find a tiny inverter with all those same features, I think we'd see the power usage pretty close.
Don't think you can run a huge inverter off the same battery that powers a tiny one. you want at least four batteries for anything 2000w and above, in my humble opinion.
