As far as your inverter. Not a bad idea at all! I like that. It stays within 4ft of the Batts, witch is suggested and it stays cool. Great Idea! The unit on the left is your inverter correct? whats the smaller unit on the right?

The unit on the left is the inverter. The unit on the right is my converter. The one that is originally in the TM is only 25A and is located far away from the batteries and only delivers about 11A peak @ the batteries. This one delivers 45A peak, due to it's short distance from the batteries and it's a 45A converter.
We dry camp a lot and the 45A converter will give the batteries a quicker boost from our generator. For full charging of the batteries (at home), there's not a
lot of difference however.
The key to the location is careful measurements to get them low enough so that the interior cabinet misses them when the top is closed but yet high enough to have enough space for the depth of the items.
I get my 110V power from the outlet next to the dinette, on the side of the galley cabinet. I hard wired it to the back of the outlet and ran cable through the cabinet under the dinette seat. You can see the wire coming out of the wall, just to the right of the converter.
