Bruce,
To further try to address your questions,
You can use the AC romex wire to connect to the Inverter AC output,
and reuse the remote wireing for overhead driver operation.
The existing remote panel is small and crowded, I moved the remote
On/Off switch to the area just right side of the rear camera display.
It is easier to access from the front living area, when not driving.
Jeff Miller gave me a great idea on the big nasty squirrel cage
blower in the battery charger bay. Just junk it and install one or
two 110 volt computer exhaust fan , mount them high on the right side
vent opening, This will open up more storage in that Bay , The
computer type fans are much quieter for the neighbor in the next
camp site.
Bill 88 FC It is always good to help others spend their bucks.
