[C320-list] AC inverters

[warren updike]

Jeff, what are your thoughts on this? I've considered doing this as well. I
only have a small 400W inverter for the TV; but, would like to have a
permanent situation for the TV and antenna power, plus soon to include a DTV
converter. 

Is there a problem with connecting the inverter to the house outlets? What
about when there is shore power? Does that spell a problem for the inverter
if the outlets are hot from shore power?

Any thoughts on 'backfeeding' (plug the output of an inverter into an  
available AC outlet, thus supplying all AC outlets with 110 VAC) the  
cabin AC outlets with an inverter?  I know there's a 'galvanic  
isolator' just after but inline with the aft shore power outlet.  I  
wonder how it would react to this scheme.
