Benefit I see is any AC plug is hot and can be used within 400w limit. No rewiring of Camper and install is very easy.

Drawback I see is batteries may try to charge off inverter output. Could probably solve this by pulling a fuse. Any other drawbacks I’m not thinking of?


That's how I wired my TT. I use a 300 watt inverter to power TVs only. I turn off all breakers except the one for the 120 v outlets

Works fine
