I do have a sofa bed in mine with lots of room beside the water tank. I even have room for 2-4 lithium batteries in the future. I found the transfer switch under the stove. I was planning to go from the transfer switch, under the floor than back up under the sofa. Does anyone have any advice for drilling through the floor and how to seal the holes?

I just put a 1500 w in my 27.2 ACE.
Couple of things:
Don’t put the inverter in the same compartment as the batteries.
Keep it close to the batteries, those are big wires.
I installed mine in the compartment next to the batteries, ran the wires out thru a hole I drilled. Used the foam stuff to fill the holes. Mine had a remote on/off switch. I ran that up to a place by my thermostat.
Next, I ran the 120v side into the area where the 120v distribution panel is. I found which plugs I wanted to have inverter power to, and cut those wires after they exited the box, on their run to the plugs. Then I installed an A/B switch for shore/off/inverter. The ACE is probably different, but same concept. This way no getting into transfer switches, etc. I’ll only use the inverter when off the grid and no gen running, so for me it’s a great solution.
