You should be using a "Main" panel, one 30 amp breaker (The black wire on the shore cord goes to this) and the 20 and 15 go beside it.. Most RV dealers have boxes for you.. progressive Dynamics makes a real nice one that is designed to mount flush in a wall.. I would want at least one spare slot in case you ever decide to put in a 12 volt system.
NOTE: for simplicity,, You might want to consider a 12 volt lighting system.. The difference is instead of a converter and battery, you use a un-regulated power supply (Cheaper than a regulated one) you need about 2 amp per 1141 lamp.
I design and build my own power supplies.. Some of 'em are quite heavy, I do not do converters however (Have a design I can use if I wished to build one).
