I wanted an inverter to run the TV, make coffee and spin the blender when boondocking or during quiet time. I bought a 1500 W inverter, wired it to the batteries. Ran the remote on off switch to the wall by the thermostat. Ran a wire from the inverter output under the bed where the panel wires are. Then I cut the wires to the kitchen plugs and TV, and wired in a rotary A/B/Off switch. Now, I can switch to the inverter side, turn it on remotely, and have 110v power. Took some work and a sketch from the supply house guy I got the switch from, but all is good, total cost under $200.
I did the same thing in my ACE 27.1 with a DPDT center off switch. I can select the Inverter output or the SP/GEN output or no output to all my non-GFCI outlets. Since my router and cell modem (Mobley plan in a Netgear modem) are wired to the entertainment outlet we can have rolling wifi as we travel.


For lmichel: the OP did have his TV outlets wired to his 1800 watt inverter as well as his fridge. Most Thor coaches with a factory residential fridge and 1800 watt inverter are wired this way.
