I installed an inverter, and similar to what Ted did, I took the general receptacles line from the breaker box, and the inverter output and ran it into a 15 amp auto transfer switch. The output of the transfer switch goes to the first receptacle in the general receptacle circuit. The auto transfer switch is made by Xantrex and is roughly $50. There are plugs through out the MH on this circuit.

No way would I even considering backfeeding the power with your suicide cord. Having to remember to unplug it, turn the breakers all back on and after travelling a day remembering it before plugging into shore power, your looking for a disaster. As we age, you must relate going upstairs in your house to get something, and when you get upstairs wonder why you went upstairs. Why have a solution with risks, instead of just doing it the right way for an additional $50 .

I use a K-Cup like style single cup coffee maker. It is labelled under the Betty Crocker name and the rating on it is 1000 watts. It uses around 600 though.
