I'll try to get a picture soon, but I did that to my TV outlet, The electrical panel is just below my TV shelf on the floor so I hooked up a 350 watt inverter to the 12v side of the panel and ran a six foot extension cord to the outlet, I cut the female side of the plug off and wired into the top receptacle of the outlet, I then cut the metal strips on both sides of the outlet plug that makes both top and bottom outlet recepticle hot.
I used two small blue reflective dots on both sides of the outlet plate at the top outlet indicating "INVERTER".
When on shore power, the inverted outlet is still hot because it gets power from the 12v/converted 110 side of the trailer. When boondocking that top outlet is Hot from inverted power. I run a 32"LED LCD flat panel tv with built in DVD player, it only draws 27 watts from tv and 38 watts with tv and dvd playing.
Works pretty slick and looks clean!
I know that the blue dots mean inverted power,, when I sell it I will label that top outlet!
