Turn off breakers one at a time until converter is disabled, should be on one of your circuit breakers. Are you planning to run all your AC outlets, most inverter installs are for running a TV or other minor electronic equipment when not plugged into shore power. When installing an inverter for whole rig use your AC unit, converter, fridge, and microwave will have to be turned off when using the inverter.
I installed my inverter to power my hdtv, satellite receiver, bluetooth speaker bar and blu-ray dvd player, that way I don't have to use my genny. When camping off the grid I primarily use my genny for convection microwave and AC unit, other wise solar keeps my batteries up to power all my audio video equipment. Mount inverter close to battery bank using largest diameter wiring your inverter lugs will accept.
How do I tell which breaker is associated with charging the battery?
Also I was planning on running a large enough inverter to power at least the AC. I don't think I'd ever power the AC from the batteries, but itd be nice to have the option, especially if i ever do a serious solar setup.
