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 many ways to do this depending on many things you have not mentioned such as battery bank size, coach size/type and how convenient you want to be able to operate things.
Typically, inverters are installed with large cable going to battery banks that are very close nearby. Portable inverters with cigarette lighter plugs are up to 300 watts but usually 150 watts or less. The 300 watt inverters would require the cigarette lighter wiring going to the source to be at least #10 wire and most RV do not use that large of wire.
A microwave would require a 2000 watt inverter in most cases. Two group 27 batteries would be the bare minimum and would provide only a short amount of run time while leaving enough battery power for other things.
