Wiring outlets, inverter and shore power
Do Rvers use regular romex, or something more flexible? I plan to have separate outlets for inverter and shore, so I don't run something off battery unawarely. Can I open up the inverter and screw ...

Not trying to hijack this thread but I have a somewhat related question for the RV wire mentors now in this thread. I carry a small 750watt inverter with me for the sole purpose of watching TV when not on shore power (Walmart log, boondock, roadside, etc).
When I use it, I just attach the little guy directly to the trailers sole 95ah AGM battery using the lug cables that came with it (no way are these heavy duty like I would use for a permanent mount further from the battery). I then just plug a good-ole yellow heavy duty extension cord from Home Depot and drop it thru the window by my rear entertainment. It's there that I have a multiplug that has the LED TV and Dish Sat box plugged in.
That's usually good for about a couple of hours of TV and usually turn it all off before then.
Isn't this good enough or should I be doing a permanent mount like some of the solutions previously described?
