Caveat: my comments below are assuming the way you coach wiring us setup. It could be completely differing.

As to how to get things on the inverter that are not. You likely have a main circuit breaker panel and a subpanel. May be physically appear as one panel.

The circuits on the subpanel are those powered from the inverter (selected outlets, microwave, etc.). Circuits on the main panel are not on the inverter (air conditioning, laundry, etc.). Move circuits from the main panel to the subpanel as desired.

Now, the devil is in the details. Limitations of inverter size, loads, load balancing per phase, space in the subpanel, and more are considerations.

Some as in my case, only have 30A of pass through power through the inverter and sub panel. They chose to only run 1 leg through it fed by a 30A breaker. A hair dryer, coffee pot, and microwave at the same time can trip the breaker. Many inverters allow 2 legs but they don’t utilize this option for some reason.

Only three wires, move them around, put in another junction box or whatever. Nobody here can tell you the specifics, especially on an old coach. Time to roll up them sleeves get out the voltmeter and go to town.

Here's a picture of my main and sub panels. As you can see, both are full. You could swap circuits from one to the other if desired. You would have to remove something off the inverter in order to add something. Otherwise you would have to add another sub panel.
