Xantrex XM1000 Inverter AC Out Breaker (Outlaw 29H)

I have a question that I have not been able to answer for myself yet so I thought I would see if anyone of you might know.

My XM1000 inverter powers the 3 TV's in my Outlaw 29H and I have been looking at how hard it would be to change the wiring to allow the inverter to power the fridge on long drives so as not to need the propane.

As I have studied the Outlaw 29H schematics and the XM1000 manual, I am trying to determine where the circuit breaker resides for the outlets the inverter supplies.

I thought the 15A breaker for the general receptacles in the power control breaker box would cut power to the TV outlets but it does not. If I turn that breaker off and the inverter on, the TV's still have power.

There is another 15A breaker but it is for the GFCI outlets.

Looking closely at the 29H schematics it looks like the 15A general receptacle breaker cuts the AC power into the Inverter..... and I'm assuming the fridge AC power as well.

According to the XM1000 manual, there is a built-in 15A breaker in the inverter for the built-in GFCI outlet but the manual states that breaker does not provide protection to the AC out circuit when used in hardwired applications.

So my question is..... where is the breaker for the inverter AC out circuit that supplies the 3 TV outlets?

According to the XM1000 manual, the AC out circuit is supposed to go to a sub-panel with it's own breaker or a breaker on the main panel. It appears that breaker is not in the power control breaker box since I shut off the breakers and there was still power to the TV's with the inverter on so I am trying to figure where it would be located.

The Thor schematics indicates a breaker box near the inverter. My inverter is in an outside storage compartment. The only items in that compartment are the inverter, the transfer switch, the slider control and the rear leveler sensor. I do not see any breaker in that area. Unless Thor somehow managed to use the inverter's built-in breaker... but the manual says to use a separate breaker.

I have to believe there is a 15A breaker somewhere for the inverter AC out power and the circuit is not left unprotected. It would be good to know its location in case the breaker ever trips... plus it will help me determine if I can move the fridge outlet to that circuit.

Any ideas?
