The question is, if it wasn't "professionally done" will it be a detriment when it comes to selling?? I.E. will a the buyer (e.g. Camping World) see it as a risk and detriment rather than a reward.
I'd appreciate help from anyone who has experience with this.
Thanks much

Make any wiring as automatic as possible and put any display as close to where the manufacture would put it. I am a retired AE used to trying to please pilots. So, buy an automatic programmable inverter. That is one that is always on unless you remove power from the coach and then turn it off (works like a UPS). Get one with at least a 30 amp pass through relay wired through a sub panel. Such an installation will look factory and actual add to the selling price. You will find most factor wiring harness terminations (wire nuts & butt splices) will not professional, so expect to spend some time making everything look like someone carried.
