I have a 2000w inverter, four 6 volt house batteries. Powers, Entertainment system, a couple ac outlets, microwave. I never turn it on unless I'm going to use it. Find my self using generator 5-1 compared to the inverter.
Not to be critical of this person, but my use of the inverter is opposite. If I'm boondocking, the only thing I will run my generator for is if I need to run the A/C's or for two or three hours a day to keep the batteries charged. I usually get up in the morning and start the generator and let it run until after coffee and breakfast. Then I'll run it again in the evening for maybe an hour. That keeps the batteries (4 6 volts) charged enough to run all my electrical stuff I may need all day long.
