Just keep in mind that a 2000WATT Power Inverter can pull between 160-180DC Amps from your battery bank when fully loaded. This will require HD cabling and more than one standard size batteries. You also want to not plan on using your standard truck alternator in a situation like this when charging... This is alot of DC Amps being drawn...

But it's a simple matter to limit the Inverter's potential current draw with a fuse or circuit breaker protecting the cables (and inverter).
My 1000W inverter is fused at only 60A at the battery. And that covers all my needs. The fuse protects not only the cables but the inverter, as it's pretty cheap and I don't want to push it.
