This is what I did with my OFF-ROAD Camper.
I have a duty always 'ON' 600WATT PSW Power Inverter just inside my cabinet area off of the 5X8 front deck.
I use the 120VAC OUTPUT of this Power Inverter to run a couple of multi-head drop cords inside my trailer with one going to the home entertainment area and the other one going to a cabinet top close to where we sleep. I also have a connection going to an OUTSIDE w/lid 120VAC Receptacle like shown here. This is next to the Shore Power Connection for the trailer wf-8900 series Power Distribution Panel... I have another 1500WATT PSW Power invert I can use as well but it is too big a drain for my battery back and is not used very much... This Power Inverter also creates a whole bunch of Radio Noise which i don't like to mess with...

When I want to feed my WF-8900 series 120VAC Power Distribution panel I use a short jumper cable as shown in the diagram. This is my poor mans transfer switch... I usually have all the 120VAC breakers 'OFF' except for the 120VAC inside/outside receptacles when doing this.
My over-all floor plan shows some of this as well... This idea here is to power up all of my HAM RADIO items for Emergency Comms I am associated with when camping off-grid

I also have a 300WATT MSW Power Inverter associated with my truck that I use alot to power up outside lights etc... This doesn't do well with any of my electronics - only good for lights and will power up my bean coffee grinder sometimes but that starts getting hot to if I use it too long. I need to change this power inverter out for a PSW type...
I think all of this can give you an idea of what I am doing here...
