Hi donn,
Wow, sounds like a lot of work. Did you surface mount the wiring?
My system has one dedicated outlet in the kitchen, and one in the shore power cord box area. Due to the location of the inverter behind the driver's seat I also have access to 120 volt power in the cab.
My converter plugs in and I have auxiliary shore power cord--so I leave it connected to that as a "default". I do change the fridge to propane. The default on the water heater is "off".

I did a down and dirty and would do it again in a heart beat. I simply wired dedicated inverter outlets where I wanted power.
No, it was actually quite easy. I knew where I wanted inverter power, ao some planning and careful drilling got the wire where I needed it. Snce I had access behind both places it was only a matter of temporairly removing a few things, making a hole connecting the wires and screwing the outlet in place. I added a lable to each outlet indicating what sort of power it has. If I forget and leave the inverter on, the worst thing that will happen is my batteries will be drawn down. I have actually done a similar thing with my satellite cableing. Two outlets, one for roof top and one for ground satellite antenna.
