OK... Down to a single circuit - the wiring is actually simple... If you aren't comfortable working with this - have a qualified tech do so.
You want the 12v DC runs (battery to inverter) as short as possible. The AC runs can be as long as needed.

Power off... (AC and DC)

DC Side:
Xantrex instructions recommend minimum wire size of 4AWG... and distance of less than 6 feet from battery to inverter (but caution against being in battery compartment...) This restriction will dictate the placement of the inverter and transfer switch. Connect 'chassis ground screw' to RV chassis, and run wire from positive (with inline fuse) and negative on battery to inverter input.

AC Side:
Identify the circuit you want the inverter on... In the breaker box, remove the hot (black) wire from the circuit breaker - and the matching neutral (white) and ground (bare) wires from the neutral/ground bus bar. - These will be connected to the output side of the transfer switch - Depending on location of inverter and transfer switch - may need to extend these wires using a junction box and wire nuts...
Run new wires from the breaker box (same positions just removed) to the input side of transfer switch.
Plug the remaining input on transfer switch in to the inverter output.

Power up!

Make sense?
