Hi Limoges_Camper,
Great work. I was taxed just reading of all your labor.
The NEC limits the number of 15 or 20 amp branch circuits in an 30 amp rv distribution panel to a maximum of 5. The practice of tying the converter to another branch circuit at the panel is a common practice among manufacturers to conform to this requirement. I also isolated my converter for similar control reasons.

I looked in the panel, and found the hot line feeding the converter, and noticed it was connected to the same breaker that the non-GFI 120V circuit was connected to. I also noticed that there was an empty breaker spot on the panel. How cheap, Dutchmen...
The plan: to tap into the control voltage circuitry of the inverter, and use it to energize a relay that will disable the converter circuit (which I will move to a separate breaker on the panel).
