Safe sure. Efficient... not even close. You will lose half your power to conversion and have a high idle draw on the battery.
Virtually no inverter is related to solar. Inverter just makes 120vac from battery power and does not care what recharges that battery.
But really just connect the battery to the 12v system.
Also verify your inverter is made to connect to an RV electric distribution system. Some do not like the 120v ground connected to the 12v side of the battery supplying power.
I guess connecting to the 12v wouldn't be much work. Since there are no house batteries currently in the rig. And will keep that in mind on the inverter, still shopping around.
Thanks!
