The size and use of an inverter is a project all it's own. But in simple terms an AC appliance will draw in excess of 10 times the amperage from the battery with an inverter, than it does thorough the 120 volt outlet.
You 120 amp-hour battery is not going to last too long before it runs out of power.
Fortunately, most TTs have the essential appliances on 12 volts and/or LP gas. The water pump, stove/oven,furnace, refrigerator, water heater and lights keep going when the 120 volt power is lost. In our case with the original stock battery we can get buy for two days. We rarely need more than that.
Good luck.
