What are you charging? Cell phones and tablets for example only need 5V USB, so something like this adapter and your favorite USB cables is a cleaner solution. Seem silly to convert 12V DC (car or RV house battery) 110V or 220V AC just to get it back down to 5V DC.
Laptops can be a little trickier, but there are DC->DC adapters available for most.
That was my guess too. I believe you want to charge your devices, cell phone, tablet etc., if so, just use any 12 volt receptacle & appropriate device adapter in the coach & forget about the inverter. You need to have the rental service explain the power distribution system in the RV to you before departing for the trip.
