No Schematic. It is pretty simple set up though.
The transfer switch is a 15amp Zantrex unit that is made to work with the type inverter I have from Zantrex. Called a Pro Watt 1000 True sine wave. It is easy to connect in a junction box. It plugs right into the inverter with a proper 15amp plug on one wire.
You run a power feed right from the main power panel to one line from the transfer switch. This supplies shore power to the switch when available.
I installed a new outlet and wire in the fridge area in the slideout near where the original one is. This is so it is the only thing on the inverter. I ran this wire to the junction box by the transfer switch (which is right near the inverter) and it is connected to the other wire from the transfer switch. Now when there is no shore power available, the power is used from the inverter if it is turned on. I have a remote (wired) switch inside to turn the inverter on and off.
With this setup, the fridge is powered by shore power anytime it is available by priority in the switch. Then when shore power is off, the switch looks to the inverter.
The switch wires are all marked very clearly. Hook up is standard house wiring methods.
I did add a second outlet in kitchen on fridge side wall that is on the same circuit. I have a led night light plugged in to readily see the power for the fridge is on at a glance. This also gives me a place to power small items like chargers etc when boondock.
Hope that helped?
