Thanks Drew.
I see your points and have been approaching this cautiously. I fully understand the need for following manufacturer installation instructions like having a fused line to the input of the inverter and will undoubtedly search for, and review, other installation details such as transfer switch, solenoid control mechanisms.
I never skip the due diligence required prior to any job, that's one reason for being here!

I really do appreciate all the ideas.
Once again, the purpose for my interest in the inverter is to run the refrigerator while on the road, not to use as a substitute for shore power, propane or the generator.
Quite possibly my design may transition to one of supplying only the refrigerator and maybe the tv and change my wiring scheme to handle just that, with an auto transfer switch.
Still in the formulation stage.
I am not adverse to listening to what everyone has to say, I will listen, formulate my ideas and go forward with an informed decision based on my reasons and acceptance of any advice I care to take.
But don't tell me I'm not interested in anyone's advice, and don't you tell me how to react or who's advice to take, you know the old saying right, opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one and they're all different.
