However, when doing research I have not been able to find any info on installing an inverter charger in conjunction with the Battery Control Center located in the battery bay under the steps. I am confused as to where in the system line to install the inverter/charger. It seems like it is probably pretty straight forward but I am stumped. Has anyone made this (or similar) upgrade before?
Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

We have a 2013 378 and your project really depends on how long you want to dry camp and the power you need. We only need 120 volts for the fridge and 12 volts for everything else. So for us to do 3 days of dry camp 6 12 volt batteries would enough. (2 12 volt Trojan 1275 batteries are enough for 24 hours). Though this is bare bones power need.
First thing I would do is a power calculation for your length of dry camping.
Let us know and others will give you great advice.
