Instead of messing around with an inverter and the problems you will have with that, buy a TV set that will run on 12 Volts. Most of these only draw 2 or 3 Amps which is much less than an inverter will draw.
There are a lot of them on the market; they come with a detachable "wall-wart" power supply which you can use when you have shore power.
Can't do that; I already have 2 new TVs that came with the trailer. Gonna go with a PSW inverter in the 100-130 watt range.
