RayChez.....Most of the Monaco guys that installed the Samsungs are only running 2000 Watt modified sine wave inverters. The Samsung refers don't mine MSW. They also are only running four batteries. I added two extra batteries and another inverter because I'm really anal.
I added the two extra batteries that are tied into the other four by welding up a shelf that moved the starting batteries off the floor of my battery box, giving me room to add another four coach batteries.
Here is a photo of the battery box upgrade.

I added the Magnum 800 watt msw inverter to the same bay as my Magnum 2000 watt inverter. The 800 could be mounted in any position so I mounted it to the roof. It has a built-in transfer switch so when on shore power it automatically passes 110 power to the inverter. It is connected to the six batteries the same as the 2000 watt inverter.

I didn't have a dedicated water filter for the ice maker, so I found a small screw on type at Lowes and added it to the exterior refer vent opening.

Lastly, I added a remote to the inverter so I could turn it on and off from inside the coach. I mounted it where I could see it while driving.
