My Totally Non-Techie Advice is to leave the original wiring alone. Don't want to mess anything up, such as the existing 12v feed to the fridge that powers the thermostat when on propane.
Just feed from the inverter to your 120v system. The fridge will operate off the 120v outlet it's already plugged into.
I'm gonna simply disconnect the 120V plug from the RV circuit and plug it into the 12V inverter output for now
:B
That was going to be my SECOND suggestion, but I forgot. Simple solution for the time being, eh? And a good way to find out how/if it all works.
If you don't already have one, I'd also recommend an isolating solenoid between the tug and the trailer battery. Hard to say how long it might take for the fridge running to draw both batteries down when parked en route, but with the isolator at least you'll know you have enough juice to start the tug and begin recharging.
