I have been using the AIMS 600WATT PURE SINE WAVE INverter for a few years now. I also have a AIMS 1500WATT PSW Inverter which is used as a backup and very seldom online. They are both hardwired close to the main battery switch. Has worked great for us over the years. I usually run around 250-300watts continuous over night and them maybe bump it to 500WATTS on occasions... My setup has two HD extension cords running into the trailer area being the Home entertainment area and a table top next to the front tent bed where we sleep.
My gameplan is to run all we want to run on 120VAC using the Inverter and 12VDC item direct connected to the battery bank in a one day/night run when off the power grid. Then I will run my 2KW Generator with the trailer shore power cable connected using an adapter during breakfast each day to allow my on-board smart mode converter/charger to re-charge my batteries in a quick three hour generator run time. Where we usually camp has generator run time restrictions in place forcing us to plan out our battery usage real close...
My 1500WATT PSW Inverter is to be used to run the trailer shore power cable with an adapter with everything turned off except the 120VAC Receptacles around the trailer. More of a backup thing as this will drain my battery bank rather quick if fully loaded down...
My workhorse always ON Inverter is the AIMS 600WATT PSW model.
Got my AIMS 600WATT PSW Inverter from AMAZON for $249 a few years back.
