An Inverter is needed to invert the 12v DC to 120v AC. It all get down to how much money do you want to spend.
Eight years ago in my class C, I used small 100 watt cigarette lighter inverter to power my LED TV. I had two 27F batteries.
Today, I need more power for my CPAP, Laptop charger, Instant Pot, TV, Cell phone chargers, Microwave, etc. I installed a Samlex EVO-2212 Inverter/Charger with a built-in transfer switch. I also installed solar to recharge the batteries.
If you what to just power one 110v outlet when you are on 12v, then you need an inverter with a transfer switch. like:
Samlex EVO-1212F-HW 1200 Watt 120V Pure Sine Inverter Charger.
I like Samlex because they are made in Taiwan.
If you want to go low budget just install a 12v power outlet and use a small 120 watt cigarette lighter inverter. like:
STANLEY PCA120 Power Inverter 120W Car Converter.
