I ran a large welding cable from front to back. Put in one of Applied 3 battery trays up front. So, I have 2 house battery's up front. And 2 in back. Next, I put in an invertor in the back closet. Then I ran a 110V invertor circuit up each side of the coach. To 7 wall plugs on each side. Those 14 duplex wall plugs. All have shore/gen duplex wall plugs. And 12V/USB wall plugs. All these are in triplex wide wall boxes. The Shore/gen 110V are controlled by an automatic transfer switch.
The 15 LED flush mount ceiling. And under cabinet LED, flush mount lights. Are on wall/house type wall switches. You can come in. Turn the lights on next to the entry door. Go to bed. And turn the lights off by way of wall switches that are next to the beds. The MAX Fan ceiling unit. Can be set to the temps that you want. Thus, will turn on, or off as required. And that is all controlled by a remote.
And yes. All this required a huge amount of extra wire. That's pact in with added wall/ceiling insulation. Hate extension cords.

I do have a generator, Coachman built GMC's. Came with a circuit panel that you can manually switch to shore, or gen. Many came with an automatic transfer switch. You don't have to do anything. My invertor110V system . Is completely separate from all other 110V.

and a quick reminder. When you have the walls cieling wherever open for wire puls, double the number of conductors. You will eventually use the spares and they will save a lot of 'doing it again' for a minor cost.

Johnny. I did run extra wires. Made drawing of locations. And put numbered wire labels on each wire. I got some different sizes of fiber optic tubing. That is used underground. ( John Roche knows well about this type of tubing. Comes in several colors. )To use as conduit for all wiring inside. Then if you look under the coach. You will see this tubing going all over the under carriage. There is no wire exposed. I installed many extra of these tubes that are still empty. For future needs.
I got annul about details with this last 78 Royale. I couldn't stop myself. GRIN.
