Golf cart batteries are great--until you try to run a microwave via a 2000 watt inverter. Then you find out they had better be about 80% full or the inverter may shut down.
And the OP asked about using his leveling jacks.
Idk of alot of people that have $50k 5th wheels and live solely off of an inverter. You can't really "use" a big camper's amenities off of a little inverter.
And the OP doesn't even know how to check a battery, so doubt he's got a mac daddy electrical system hooked up.
Although, with a rig that size, for roughly the cost of 2 SIO2 100ah batteries, he could have a 6 to 8 battery bank of 6V FLA or SLA batteries that would make a whole costco size case of Hot pockets in the microwave, as fast as he could eat them if that was his jam. And still blow dry his hair and make coffee the next morning without even charging up.
But wouldn't a pair of 12V batteries do better cooking a costco size box of hot pockets?
