Yes I thank you all.. I had no idea my convertor as well as any convertors have a wire that allows you to turn off the convertor.
I may leave the wire where it is as I did a test and the only outlets that do not work are the two on both sides of the queen bed, and one in the bedroom on the wall that is really never used.
All 5 other outlets are on another breaker.
Bath
Kitchen
Dinette
TV/wall
Outside outlet.
Some or all of these are GFI protected. ( Will this be an issue)
So my choices are these for what I propose to do solar and invertor.
24v 250 watt panel

Mppt controller

Invertor 800 watt. ( I probably only need a 400 watt)

Outside outlet attach under trailer somewhere near the invertor.

4 gauge wire from invertor to battery, to charge controller to battery.
Not sure wire size from solar panels to controller..
