The fact that the TV and outlets are on a 20 is interesting. Anyhow, not a big deal.
Ensure you don't have AC power to the camper, and I would disconnect the 12V side as well.
Rewire the 30A Main how it was.
Pull the 3 wire connection for the 20A TV+Outlets and 15A Outlets
On the end of each of those add a male 15A plug (ensure you don't mix up the hot/neutral/ground... google can help), each of those will plug into the outlets on the inverter (you might need an extension cord based on mounting location, if you do I would make sure its 15A rated and tape the connections). Like I mentioned this will limit you to 750W inverting and 1500W shore power, ensure your loads don't exceed that.
Then on the 15A outlet circuit breaker add a 3 wire that has a 15A female plug on it long enough to plug the inverter. Relabel this 15A breaker APS750.
Now you can rewire the converter, AC and DC. Leave this breaker OFF if the 15A APS Breaker is ON. This will let you charge the batteries faster than the APS does if needed.
It's that simple.. just realize you will probably have to switch the fridge to "GAS" and you have the ability to run more power than your inverter can handle.
GOT IT! Actually very simple when you explained it. Thanks! I'll be setting it up tonight. I'll let you know how it works out.
