I use a system of male and female plugs to configure the RV for inverter use.
Who needs a system? Like Wa8 said, inverter to sub panel. Move outlets that need to be inverted to sub panel.
Done. No system of plugs. My family just uses the motorhome. They don't know whether power is coming from shore, genny, or inverter.
Who wants to mess around with plug this and unplug that???

I had not thought about the converter. Hmm..

Yes that placement in the circuit will work. It will supply power to everything so be careful with what is on such as converter, 120v fridge, 120v water heat etc. As an alternative get a straight inverter and separate transfer switches for just the circuits you want powered up.
+1 need to verify the INPUT wattage of the microwave or go 2000 watts.
Generally you should have three or more batteries driving this inverter... what do you have?
Error on the large side for 12v connection.

Keep in mind that your scheme is a 'whole house' install, meaning you don't want your water heater on, or your converter, or your a/c when on inverter power. Just be mindful of that when inverting. I've done it for years.
I'm not a fan of using subpanels. Lotta work.

Next, question whether you really want/need an inverter/charger which is expensive, when all you need is the inverter.
