I posted 2 questions onto the diagram. I'm not going to wire anything up until I've fully educated myself. Hopefully you can help.

So the "AC/DC" in its description must just be saying that it'll output AC if it's plugged in from a 110v AC outlet?
Exactly, it operates as a 120V distribution panel, also a 12V distribution panel, and you probably have a AC-> DC converter integrated into it that operates as a 12VDC power supply and charges the house battery.

As SMK said, to power your receptacles using the battery as source, you'll need an inverter and a transfer switch.

The mighty mini is a typical RV panel. It is split into two systems including distribution of 120vac with a main and five branch circuit breakers. You need to supply 120v power from the utility, generator or an inverter.

Separately it has a 12v distribution with a stack of maybe 10 fuses for multiple circuits. The converter is the connection between the 120v and 12v sides. Unfortunately it only goes one way 120v --> 12v The converter will also keep the battery charged as the battery connects on the 12v side. So again the 12v side just distributes 12v power supplied by the converter or direct from the battery.

Thanks for the help smkettner!
I was thinking that the mighty mini panel would be doing the inverting.

Yes the lights are low power and can all be on one switch.
No you will need to add an inverter and transfer switch to power the outlets from the battery.

As long as you are pulling wire I would go #4 for the main battery cables to improve charging. The 6v batteries need to be wired in series. Need about 50 amp fuse near the + battery terminal.
