That's a Xantrex Prowatt 1000 with remote switch. My coach has a residential reefer with a Xantrex 2000 watt inverter and I wanted a backup in case of difficulty. I used the Xantrex transfer switch but I would recommend the Kisae brand switch since it has built in strain reliefs for directly connecting the Romex from the panel and to the load, eliminating the octagonal steel box that I had to use.
Sure we can be perfectionists and look at the wiring from the converter to the bank, which is only #6 or #8. Someday I may rewire that with something a little bigger since it is such a long run to the batteies, but not for the inverter but rather to eliminate the .75 volt voltage drop when trying to recharge from the generator. However, never had a problem. I did add the PD Charge Wizard pendant so that I can force it into boost when I run the genny.
As far as not having a plug over the drivers seat, you can snake the wire inside the cap by removing the back trim in the center compartment. Mine was stapled in with trim. It is supposed to be screwed and it is a double piece of material. When you get the first piece out, you will see a pretty jagged hole behind it. Drill a hole in the drivers side compartment and reach in and snake it over to the passenger side and plug it in...or, put a plug in the back of the driver's side compartment.
I spent a long time trying to snake down the passenger side trim...not that easy since it is behind the blower and heater section.
Step motor...been there...done that too!
