According to the wiring diagram ( and experience), the 1000 watt inverter is fed AC power from a single circuit breaker in the main AC panel. The AC output from the inverter is then wired directly to the outlets in the overhead entertainment area, the outlet at the passenger foot area, a single outlet behind the reefer for the ice maker, and the outlet in the bedroom for the rear tv. The bypass relay in the inverter itself connects the AC power from the circuit breaker to these outlets when shore power or generator power it available. In the absence of either of these sources, if the inverter is enabled, the inverter will then provide modified sine wave AC power to these outlets. In order to make the morning coffee, I run a cord from the pass outlet to the galley to run the coffee maker. I have also installed an adapter behind the reefer so that I can run the reefer on the inverter when I am running down the road. Then I don't have to worry about leaving the "fire" on when I pull into the gas station. Of course, when you stop for more than a couple of hours, you need to put the reefer back on propane or you will wind up with a set of dead batteries. The reefer draws about 55amps when the heater is on.
The wiring for the 2000 watt unit is completely different and it makes use of that other circuit breaker box in the bay where the inverter is located. And, of course, the 2000 watt install includes four house batteries instead of two that are used with the 1000watt unit.

I signed up on Yahoo National RV Groups and spent much of the day discussing and acquiring new knowledge about my Dolphin. Even downloaded the electrical diagram I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.
