Like Doug, I don't understand what all this talk of extra 12v outlets???
You hook up the inverter to power the 110 circuits you want to power off the inverter. When you have shore or generator power the inverter passes that power through and does not draw power from the batteries.

The OP is thinking the 12 volt outlets in an RV are so you can plug in an appliance like a small Inverter to power a 120 appliance like a TV. NOT SO, Those 12 volt plugs are NOT designed to power a Small Inverter that has a cigar lighter plug. Especially the 12 volt antenna booster. The wiring on the back is not large enough to safely power an Inverter. You can do it, but it is not the best way to do it. The OP assumed that there should be another 12 volt plug receptacle by his main TV to use a small Inverter. They do not do that on almost all RV's. He needs to install a 700 watt or a 1000 watt inverter, which is what most OEM's do when they want to Power the entertainment center when boondocking. Doug
