My outlet by the bed, although not the ace model, is actually advertised for cpap and is permanently on .

According to the schematic that I got from Thor (how can I send it to you? I'll be glad to but they've changed it some), it should be the outlet by the bed near the rear of the coach, the outside fridge, the bedroom TV, and the outside TV. This is exactly how ours was configured.

I changed the outlet for the outside TV (it's behind the drawer under the stove) to a regular style residential outlet and used some 14/2 romex to put an outlet on the wall behind the sink/stove. While at it, I put an outlet under the cabinet where the TV plugs in so the front TV can be on the inverter or on the original outlet, which I left. The front desk / passenger outlet runs behind the cabinet under the front TV also, so I came off of the new outlet for the front TV to connect it to the inverter as well. The outlet on the counter behind the stove/sink is awesome to have, by the way! They really should have put one here to begin with.

Obviously, I can't run everything off of a 1000 watt inverter, but by being careful and switching things, we can run everything we need to, including the coffee pot. I plan to eventually change the factory inverter out for a larger one that I can run two circuits off of, but that's for later on.

Everyone should call Thor and ask for the engineering diagrams to their coach. Its easy to do and they send them to you right away. (Supposedly they are matched to your VIN since you have to have it handy when you call.)

They are getting responsive. I have gotten what I requested each time I emailed support.

I would love to see some pics of the outlet on the wall behind the stove if you have some handy. Does your cab tv have the interlock that prevents it from working if the coach is running?

Our outdoor fridge runs on inverter
