Amature Wiring Diagram. I Need Help.
I posted 2 questions onto the diagram. I'm not going to wire anything up until I've fully educated myself. Hopefully you can help.

You do not necessarily have to have a transfer switch if you install an inverter. You can install an inverter close to the batteries so the DC from the batteries is close and will not lose power due to cable lengths. At this point you just plug your shoreline cord directly into the inverter.
Here is the catch at that point. Your mini mite will be trying to charge the batteries which is not what you want so you would need to turn the mini mite off by unplugging it or installing a switch to accomplish the task.
I have done this on two rv's and it works fine. You are limited in the size of your inverter but it is enough to run a small tv or something that uses a lot of power for a short time.
This is an uncomplicated method. Not elegant.
