Thanks for all the replies.
No outlets in the transfer switches unfortunately.
I wondered if the installer had removed the outlet but couldn't think of any reason why he would. Now I get it, that is how he wired the inverter into the house system. Mystery solved :)
The inverter is all hard wired. The converter is still connected to the battery. So I think I will just run a new AC line to give me somewhere to plug the converter in. As both the inverter and converter are connected to the battery I just need to make sure I only run one at a time.
The converter converts 120 vac from your shore power to 12 vdc to operate the coach lights, etc. It has to be plugged in somewhere close by to do this. It should also connect to your battery to charge it. The inverter gets it 12 vdc operating power from the battery to convert it into 120 vac to operate what ever is connected to it. Not knowing how he set things up, it is going to be difficult to sort out what you want done, and you may not be able to just unplug one, and plug in the other. Hopefully your installer gave you a schematic for how he hooked things up. If he didn't and you don't know your way around electric tracing, you might be best to go back to him and get things sorted out, and this time, get him to make you a schematic!!!
