Inverter

I noticed that the motorhome that I am buying (2006 Damon Daybreak) has an inverter in the rear storage bin. I don't know if it is factory or not. So it got me thinking that I know very little about inverters in RVs. So I will ask:

1: was an inverter a factory "option"

2: if it was, what size should it be?

3: What do you run on your inverter?

4: How quickly does it deplete your house batteries when you use yours?

5: Should I run a separate inverter just for my TV?

Any other thoughts on the inverter would be welcome.

1- most likely
2-2000-3000 watts
3-anything that uses 120V (eg) tv,fridge,coffe pot,dvd player
120 volt lite,fans etc
4-depends on the AMP draw on the applinace being used
number of batterys you have and the size of their reserve capacity
5- No

when boondocking batterys can be replenished by running gen set for a few hours
If using inverter while driving the motor alternater will keep the batterys up
