I installed a 600W PSW INVERTER just to run a couple of multi-outlets drop cords - one runs to the home entertainment items the second on runs to the bedroom night table.
We have all of our 120VAC items we want to have on whether camping off the power grid or camping at regular camp sites with electric. All of these items stay on the inverter all the time - no connecting up everytime you stop like you have indicated...
My battery bank is 255AHs and we get to watch HDTV -DVDs-run extra light or small fans- maybe an electric lap blanket - all of the cell phone type chargers and computer chargers - All the interior LED lights we want - Outside lights around the sitting area on until 10-11PM at night etc almost just like we do at regular camp sites with electric except no air conditioners or high wattage microwaves.
By 8Am the next morning when camping off the power grid we are down to around 12.0VDC on our battery bank and this is when we connect the trailer 30A shore power cable up to our 2KW Honda generator and using the on-board smart mode converter/charger can re-charge the batteries back up to their 90% charge state so we can do all this all over again for the next day/night camping run.
This is block diagram of a typical small trailer setup mounting the 600WATT PSW Inverter as near to the battery bank as you can and route the 120VAC drop cords to the living room and bedroom to use. Nothing is visble except the multi-outlet where you can plug into the inverter power.
Works great if you plan it out...
