Mex,
I have no need for such a set up. Everything is run off the inverter... including the 12v kitchen sink pump, which is wired into a 120-12v wall wart, which is plugged into a switched receptacle.
The only things running directly off 12v are things that need to run 24 hours a day... like fridge controls, heat pump and fan, etc... so that the inverter does not have to remain on all the time.
If I do, on a very rare occasion, find myself hooked up to shore power, those particular 12v things could also be wired in to wall warts, and run off 120v.
