Happy belated birthday, 12 miles round trip, 4000 feet of gain, and you were only WHIPPED, I would have been dead long before that hike was over. WOW, I'm impressed. OK, back to the issue at hand and I apologize for not addressing the AC side of the install. Earlier, I stated the reasons for choosing the Kisae SWXFR 1220. "It is true sine-wave, has a remote display module with on/off switch and a built in transfer switch." Two other important aspects I completely failed to mention is the capability for it to be hardwired and the fact that it can handle two independent 110 volt circuits, one of which is GFCI protected. Our Oliver has nine 110 volt outlets. The factory wired them on two 20 amp circuits. Their locations are: Outside, the Microwave, the Fridge, over the galley, beneath the dinette, one over the head of each bed, one in the rear upper cabinet and one in the basement. The way I wired the inverter for 110 volts was to remove each group of outlets from their breaker in the distribution panel. I then replaced one of the 20 amp breakers with a 30 amp. I fed the power to the inverter from that 30 amp breaker. I fed each circuit inside the inverter to the breaker sub panel you see in the pictures. Then, I simply reattached the original wires going to each group of outlets to the two 20 amp breakers in the sub panel. This way there was NO new wiring to run, just move it from the old location (distribution panel) to the new (breaker sub panel.)

Rob, you are indeed correct that the inverter is not easily accessible. On the other hand, it's not necessary to access it for any reason other than to work on it. In fact since I installed it in January, yesterday was the first time I've been back to it (I moved my shunt closer to it.) The 12vdc positive wire comes in from the right side and goes directly to the Switch. From there it continues thru the fuse and on to the positive terminal of the inverter. I mounted the detachable remote display and switch on the opposite side of the coach right above my bed. A surge protector offers nothing to the boon-dockers.
