My bad - I looked at the picture closer - and deleted my post. Sorry.

I recommend (I don't always do) flipping the 12V disconnect before working on things. That avoids accidental shorts and fuse...

I strongly recommend the use of this kind of tester (much cheaper at Lowes/Home Depot) for all 120V outlets: AEMC OT-2 Outlet and GFCI Tester for 100 to 125V AC: Voltage Testers: Amazon.com:...

Use your voltmeter. There is 120V at that outlet!!!!! (Provided by the inverter from the batteries.) You ARE plugging in a 120V TV and DVD player - right?

1) No. The new outlet is not grounded and the wire does not have the additional protection romex provides.
2) No. You will still need a ground wire.
3) No. The ground must go to the inverter...

It depends on where the inverter is. If it is buried under the bench I think an external plug is fine - maybe even preferred. If it shows as Myron's does then I like the internal feed.

Congratulations.

For others who do this - I *strongly* recommend romex over the wire Myron used, and there should be a ground wire from the new outlet back to the GFI.

(This looks too much like...

That would have worked had the other wire not come out BUT you would not have had gfi protection on the remote outlet.

If you get nothing - reset the gfi - it may have popped at some point.

Actually I think the connections you need are available. I think the yellow tape on the GFI outlet covers the connections you want. They should be labled - LOAD - one should be gold (hot/red or black...

Agreed. Even easier is an ETI installed transfer switch (at least the way they wire it now.)

I prefer an automatic transfer switch, just turn the inverter on and there you go.

Myron,

You need to run romex from the inverter outlet (110V) to the new duplex outlet under the fridge. You want 110V AC (not 12V DC) to "normal" outlets.

1) Take some romex, put a plug on it...

I *think* it just pulls out, I think mine was a bit stiff.

*Maybe* the screw by the gas valve at the bottom left?

The furnace comes out and goes back in quite readily - makes for lots of room. Leave the outside part alone, just take out the inside bits. Turn the propane and 12V disconnects off. A few screws,...
