How far is too far for the inverter?
My inverter is going to be about 4-5 feet from the battery bank, and maybe an additional foot or two by the time I run the wire. I am using 2 gauge wire. Is that too far? The inverter will only see...

Yes if spending money get 2/0 or 4/0. Since you have 1/0 and it may fit your needs.... give it a go.
Ampacity of 1/0 with 105C insulation is 285 amps and your inverter will not likely go over 180 for your usage.

I would fuse at 250 with ANL or 200 with Class T to protect wire from dead short.
