I have an ACE 27.2. It had no factory inverter. I installed a 1509 W inverter in the storage cabinet next to the batteries, so the hook up was pretty easy. The inverter had a remote on/off switch which I ran thru the closet, and put just below the thermostat.

Now the complicated part: I ran the output from the inverter to the box below the bed where all the electrical stuff is. I determined which plugs I wanted on the inverter (for me it was TV and kitchen for coffee and blender for smoothies and margaritas.). I bought a marine A/B/Off switch, cut the Romex wires to the plugs AFTER their circuit breakers, and wired the switch up. So, if I want to use the inverter (dry camping) I turn the rotary switch to inverter, remotely turn on the inverter, and I’m good. I shut the Keureg off after use, the blender spins for 30 seconds, that leaves a couple hours of TV, so no problems, even with 2 group 27 Costco batteries. Also have 200W solar and a battery monitor. I could just use the genset for the blender, but early coffee may be too loud, and I don’t want it running for the TV.
