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. No...

I use a multi-outlet extension cord like this one... Be sure to get one where the transformers will plug in sideways otherwise you will lose one outlet because of the wiring to the xfmr.
I wished I had used one of these that has the sockets separated somewhat to allow for xfmrs to be plugged in side by side. Those black ends just snap off...
Someone submitted on one of my recent post that the surge protector type mutil-outlet drops may have something to do with your GFCI circuits but I didnt have any problems with mine.
I just plug this drop cord into one of the sockets on the INVERTER. Make sure you use all three conductor.
I also hide my extension cord using these cable management CordMate II C210 WIREMOLD Kits from LOWES. This gives you 12-feet of covers to hide your cables along the floor or kick panel. No cables are visible using these.. The only thing visible will be the multi-outlet on the back of a cable top or table.
You will like the installation when done. I hope you used a Pure Sine Wave Inverter as with one of those you don't have to worry about plugging in your electronic type items. The Modified Sine Wave Inverter may NOT work well with the electronic type appliances. Some things may immediately go up in BLUE SMOKE.
