Renogy Pro 2000W Pure Sine
A good fit for RVs and vans that run a fridge or fan all night, since the low idle draw saves battery. Expect to hardwire it rather than plug into the unit.

Giandel PS-2000SDR 2000W Pure Sine
#29 in 1,100 to 2,000 WFull review
A low-cost 2000 W inverter with a hardwire terminal for DIY van and cabin builds. It lacks a safety listing and wastes power at idle, so switch it off between uses.
