That's where I need some good advice on how to wire that in to the 120 ac system.
Thanks for all the info - you guys have been a lot of help.

You may not have an Inverter, but a Converter like we do. It's behind the sliding basement doors on top of a tank, near the water filter (if you have one).
We have a Onan generator, but when CG shore power goes out, the converter works with the batteries to power 12v items. It's been tested a few times. Some lights still work and the fan on the furnaces, so we still had heat throughout the night.
