How will 110 outlets run off 12volts?
The OP openly admitted he's new.... how exactly does your post help at all?
To the OP, you are correct. The standard house type outlets in the TT will only work when plugged into shore power or a generator. Your interior lights and water pump will work off the battery so you can "survive." Your furnace would likely work as well but beware it will deplete the battery quickly due to the blower fan. A/C won't work unless on shore power or a beefy generator (don't try unless you have a 3000W or bigger generator).
The way I use my generator is to run it a couple hours during the day to charge the batteries and/or if I want to throw something in the microwave. That way I generally have enough juice to get through the night w/o running the generator (frowned upon during sleeping hours, for sure - unless you're really away from it all and no one can hear it)
Also, if you have a dual gas/electric water heater be sure to turn off the electric side of the water heater so it doesn't kick in and over work the generator when you turn it on. On most modern heaters there is a switch behind the panel accessed from the outside. If your water heater is only gas you have nothing to worry about.
