In this thread: http://www.thorforums.com/forums/f8/need-help-self-installed-power-inverter-issue-13024.html we have someone who has just completed what you want to do. In their case they installed the inverter after the converter/breaker panel off the breaker that goes to all the outlets.

If you think about it: it really doesn't matter if you're installing before or after the breaker panel (I'm speaking physically here) because the inverter will be installed in the same spot--its just where/how you run the wires.

I hear you and thanks for the add. I see where you might have thought I could glean something from his post.

I read that post as tactical and post-mortem. I'm in the strategy/investigatory phase of this and he was way ahead of me. A/C is the only thing I DEFINTELY don't want running off the inverter instead of coming in after the breaker panel and only lighting up a few wall sockets. Water heater? Maybe, we'll see. If not, I'll isolate that too in the subpanel for the A/C.

I'm researching the feasibility of feeding inverter power to the breaker/fuse panel. I realize this shifts the burden of responsible power management onto my shoulders (and the cost of any bonehead mistakes) but it's something I want to try, save a sure fire way to burn down the coach. From original post: “…If it gets power on AC, it gets power from the inverter”.
