The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 60 Amp # PD4060K is a converter, which converts 110v AC power to 12v DC power. What you're looking for is an inverter, like the # PD64FR which converts 12v DC power to 110v AC power.
To find the correct size inverter you'll need to figure out the the wattage draw for the items you're planning on powering. The # PD64FR I referenced above is more of a permanent installation and does require a bit of work but there are also other options available that can require little work to install like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter - GFCI - 2,000 Watt - 12V # 34278156. This style would only allow you to plug appliances/tools/etc. into it to power them whereas the # PD64FR would wire to circuit breakers to power multiple things.
If you could give me more info on exactly what you're wanting it to power I can help find the correct solution for you.
