I would mount the inverter as close to the batteries as possible. The spec sheet for a 600w Samlex inverter calls out 8ga. wire at 1.5 meter, maximum. You will need larger wire for bigger inverters.

You just can't be sure how the mfg. decided to connect your DC receptacles. It may result in loss of the inverter or loss of the device powered. The better solution is to mount an inverter close to the batteries and pull a new length of AC to the desired location.
