Inverter Wiring Question - Power Outlets

Okay so I got my 400w mini-inverter hooked up to the battery with a fuse in the chain. The inverter is now attached to the inside of my coach behind the dinette at a length of less than 3 feet.

Now, I need to understand how to create power outlets to plug things into it. My goal is to have two outlets, one above the TV in the dinette and one in the bedroom. Is there something made specifically to create an outlet somewhere or do I do one of the following:

1. Get a regular 20 foot extension cord to run to the bedroom and a 6 foot cord for above the TV. Cut the ends off the extension cord on one end only and wire them into a standard house type outlet/box and mount it wherever I wish. Is cutting extension cords in such a manner a fire hazard? Is there a better way?That is the simplest way to wire one in. The hard part is trying to hide the wires, But it can be done simply enough. I finished up the project by using a label maker to mark the outlets as to what power source they were

2. Don't cut the extension cords. Simply attach a 3 or 4 way outlet to the other end of the extension cord and surround it by a box. Not as neat for sure.

3. Something I'm not thinking of which is a product that has a 3 way prong plug on one end (to plug into the inverter) and a house-style twin outlet on the other end that will make my life easier.
