I'm simply looking for the easiest way to get inverter power to the main outlets and low use items. NO need for microwave or A/C in my use plan.
Buy 15M-30F dogbone adapter.
Plug it into inverter.
Plug your yellow RV cord into female of the dogbone, and male into RV 30A receptacle.
Disable the converter. (Can't help, not knowing your particular hardware).
Make sure that A/C, MW and other 120V breakers are off, so that you won't turn those loads on by mistake.
Turn the inverter off when not in use. I hope you know about inverter idle draw. In absence of loads it turns into a little space heater, wasting energy on keeping itself warm. Like Dirty Harry said - "because he likes it" :)
(Yes, BFL is right, turn fridge to propane - not Auto).
