Okay, so now my 2nd mod is behind me. I decided to go with smkettners suggestion which worked well and I'm quite pleased.
The first thing I did was to add another 15 amp breaker and move the outlets to their own circuit. This was much easier than I thought it would be. I simply removed the pigtail that combined the charger/controller to the outlets and ran each to their own breaker.
After that, I ran two strands of romex from the panel to the bay adjacent to my new battery bay. I spliced one of these runs to the romex that fed the outlets which became my AC out on the inverter. The other romex was wired to the breaker and that fed my AC "in" on the inverter.
Everything works great, including the built-in transfer switch. If I'm running the gen and turn it off, the inverter kicks in immediately. Conversely, when the gen comes on, the inverter goes off-line. Same of course for shore power.
To me, that transfer switch was really a safety feature. I have the on/off remote routed to the inverter so I can turn it on when I want at the touch of a button which is really what I intend on doing. The only thing I need to remember is to switch my fridge to propane when I'm on the inverter.
Inverter Install PicSpecial thanks again to the awesome folks here. For a new RV owner who possesses only moderate DIY skills, these conversations have been invaluable.
Until next time!
