Thor does not wire all outlets to an Inverter on their Class C's when an Inverter is stock equipment. The stock battery banks don't have enough capacity so they limit what the Inverter will power.

Typically a stock Inverter will only have the following outlets wired:

- TV's / Entertainment System
- Residential Fridge
- Outlet near bed for a CPAP machine

The GFCI outlets will not typcially be wired on the Inverter circuit as well.

Now all that being said....... the Inverter manufacturers recommend a subpanel on the Inverter output circuit but Thor does not wire them that way. I have found on the Class C's with smaller Inverters, Thor will use the the wires available for an optional GFCI receptable that can be added to the Inverter as an option (instead of the available hard-wired connections). The onboard GFCI receptacle has its own push button breaker so this serves as a cheap subpanel for the Inverter output voltage.

There will be a breaker in your Power Distribution Center that will control the AC input to the Inverter if it has a built-in transfer switch.
