Question about inverter use and power draw on batteries

I will apologize right off the bat - this is both probably a newbie question - and also a bit convoluted. So my brand new 1995 Lance has two 12v outlets... I was trying to run a 150W inverter or a 300W inverter - and having all sorts of trouble j...
