Inverter Hard Wire install
We'll be bringing home our first Fifth Wheel in a couple days, and I have all the components for a 4-battery bank (Trojan T-105's), Magnum MS2812 inverter, inverter remote, and Trimetric TM-2030-RV mo...

Bad plan, the inverter is 2800 watts, the transfer switch is likely 30 amps max, You run the 50 amp line to your main breaker box (where it runs now) and then run a 30 or 35 or 40 amp BRANCH line to the inverter.
Inverters come (for this post) in two flavors, Those with breakers included, and those (like mine) without
if yours has breakers included you run branch circuits off those breakers
If like mine You run a same size line (30 amp needs at least 10ga wire, Higher amps more wire) back to a SUV panel, This is a breaker box without a "Main" breaker, the incoming power goes straight to the bus bar.
Then you run branch lines from there. Mine (2000 watt) feeds the Microwave, TV's (All of 'em) also my computers (Same branch) and the GFCI chain. (Bath, Kitchen, patio, Dining room table)
Side note: I have a wireless doorbell i got from PCH.. This one is different from all the others I've ever had in that the receiver (Bell) is battery powered, Since the receiver runs 24x7 it ate batteries.. 3 of them about every 2 weeks (Expensive) I cut and pasted (Ok Soldered) a USB cable to the battery contacts in the unit, Removed the batteries, Plugged a 5 Volt USB charger adapter into the Microwave circuit (used a 3-way cube) and now .. it is "mains" powered. IF Mains fails the inverter kicks in every bit as fast as a UPS so the TV's, Microwave and of course computers and doorbell, Do not even blink.
