The only one I've seen installed on trail vehicles is the Premier Power Welder. There are probably other brands, but Premier is undoubtedly the most popular. You might try various descriptions in Google.

The inverter to handle that load would cost twice what a premier power welder costs, not to mention it would be huge and a ppw can burn 1/2 steel with no trouble, try that with a 110 welder. If you want a onboard welder because it would be "nice" to have one along "in case" just carry (sealed well) some welding rod of different sizes and grades.
Two batteries and a couple sets of jumper cables, this will get you out of most pickles.

If you see yourself trail welding a lot...get a PPW.
