Yes you are looking at it right. Your question on the transfer switch: I used that same switch when I wired in my inverter, but NOTE that switch is only rated at 15a. Why it doesn't need a breaker on the output, because the inverter would trip from overload before it damaged the wiring. That said a 2000w inveter is 2000/120=16.6 amps, too big to be used with this single circuit transfer switch.
Personally, I would stay at 1000W and just use the inverter for the blankets. Your two batteries aren't going to last long if you ask them to power the inverter too. Just because the microwave is on that circuit doesn't mean you have to turn it on....
2oldman, I think he means that his electrical wiring is under the dinette, the batteries will be on the tongue....
