I did mine the hard way, but I wanted everything separate. I installed a 1000W PSW inverter and ran 3 separate wires for 3 separate 120V type plugins. I have a junction box next to it, where all 3 wires run from to the separate plugins.
It was a hassle to run a couple of the wires but worth it. I have a plug in near the rear, one near the TV in the center and one in the front bedroom. We can now run phone chargers, the TV, electric clock, etc.
The coolest part is the remote on/off switch that I bought. It's plugged into the invertor via a Ethernet type cable. I mounted it in a centrally located place. This way I can turn on the invertor from inside the 5er. It also has a built in battery monitor on it.
I suppose it would've been easier to just use the shore power cord like some suggest, but I like having everything separate.
I only have two G24 batteries at this time but really have no intention of running anything like the Micro or such. Just too much power draw in a short period of time. That's why I only got the 1000W invertor.
