How do I wire in an inverter
To only power the microwave, the outdoor kitchen fridge, and the outlet beside the bed for a cpap? I wouldn't be worried about it normally, but our new trailer has the outdoor kitchen with a fridge...

There are two kinds of inverters. Stand alone and in-line, the In-line type also charge batteries.
Stand along: Battery-Inverter (note very short cable there---long line--- Oulet(s) near what you wish to power (make 'em orange or red) move plugs to use inverter and turn it on.
In-Line this is for a 2000 watt model larger or smaller you may need to change breaker size
Main power panel--30 amp branch---inverter---Sub panel (15 amp breakers note some inverters the sub panel is built in)====Loads
Also 12 volt (very short leads)to inverter/battery
NOTE on the 12 volt leads
the invewrter install manual will recommend a size for any given run,, UPGRADE at least one size.. and tape the two wires side by side for most of the distance (As long as you can) This will improve inverter life.
