Don't just buy an inverter using round numbers....add up the wattage of what you want to power, and buy one that will do the job. Remember that the bigger the inverter, the more you can run, and the faster it will suck your batteries dry.
I got a 150w pure sine inverter and installed it with this 15a auto transfer switch.
Here's the post on my inverter install.
I've since upgraded the converter/charger to a Progressive Dynamics with charge wizard, so I can restore the batteries with only a brief runtime when we are boondocking.
It's also a good idea to install a voltage meter if you don'y have one...I use it along with this chart to monitor battery charge:

Check the wall wart on the end of the TV's power cord. Most convert 120 volt ac to 12 volt dc.
The idea is you could cut the 120v plug off and instead, attach a 12v accessory plug. Eliminating the need for inverter.
If you DO have a 12v tv, this is the easiest way to go.
I've never seen one, not to say they don't exist. They're just not sold in the markets I deal with I guess.
