Inverter hooked up and outlets installed

The second part of the inverter charger is the inverter. I now have nice outlets where I can plug in most any power tool.  One is up front and the other is in the back. 

The 110V power socket at the rear of the trailer. (The wood wall is the back ramp, closed.)  
The forward outlet next to the window. 



The losses in the inverter are a little bit higher than I had hoped. When in charge only mode it appears to draw 195mA. And when inverting it consumes 1.2A. Under load I think the losses drop to a little under 1.0A. At least there is a DC-OFF switch position which does not load the batteries.
