You want something to provide 110VAC from battery power, but will also recharge the batteries when plugged into shore power?

If so, that unit should work quite well (Xantrex seems to be a great name in such equipment, with customer support to match as well).

Keep in mind that running AC loads can add up very quickly on your batteries. If anything can possibly be run straight from 12V (cell-phone chargers, laptop computer, etc.), do so. That way you avoid what are called "Conversion losses" by not going through the inverter.
