I struggled with your dilemma with my first RV. I tried to plug the whole RV onto a 2K inverter and always has to remember to switch off the converter. Wife never remembered. I needed the new RV to be fool proof. I decided all I wanted on my inverter is my outlets. Since the converter is on its own breaker with a dedicated outlet, I left it alone. Then I installed a Xantrex 15Amp transfer switch on the outlets circuit only. It works fine. Sometimes it transferes fast enough that the TV doesn't go off and the sat receiver doesn't reset. Sometimes it doesn't. To fix this, all devices at my entertainment center are now plugged into a UPS. My Xantrex has the remote on/off switch and I would recommend this.
That's what I initially tried with a 150 watt inverter. Blew it up without the ats ...I forgot to turn it off and plugged the trailer into the house lol.
Not all my outlets are on the same breaker though and my refrigerator is on the same circuit as the interior outlets. GFCI outlets are on a separate breaker. But it might be good enough to only power the refrigerator and the interior 3 non GFCI outlets.
