Newpowa has an excellent 2000W pure sine wave inverter at a very competitive price. We had ours for over 3-years.
I'd stay away from anything labeled Renogy.
I have 4, 100W solar panels (230AH LFP battery) on our TM only because I couldn't fit a 200W on my rear shell because of a 14"x14" roof vent smack in the middle. Whatever you get, it's best to match panels.
We just spent 5-days in the desert and never touched the generator. We kept track of our microwave and drip coffee pot usage. Avg 22 minutes a day on the microwave (Easter weekend). and 3 pots of coffee a day. We also have a 110V 4.5 Cu ft fridge. It was cold at night so we ran the furnace every night.
The battery was 100% by noon each day and 75% by midnight. The lowest that I read was 55% at 7:AM (before the Sun had any effect on the solar).
