You would need an inverter specifically designed for that purpose or a
transfer switch. Applying power to the inverter output will destroy it
instantly. Having the inverter apply power to wiring in the van will
energize the plug spades out side the van or reverse energize a circuit
the van is plugged in to. This is a safety hazard at best.

Subject: Power Inverter wired into 110 Voltage circuit

Folks,

I would like to hard wire my 1000 watt DC-AC Power Inverter into the
onboard
110 Volt system.

The goal ..... so that I always have 110 available, whether plugged into
a
camp ground,  my 1000 Watt Honda Generator or my 1000 Watt Inverter off
the
Battery.

Can I simply wire the inverter into the 110 circuit breaker or do I need
to
do something more So Fist De Kated?

Now if I can just figure out out to sell excess power back to the Power
Co
:)
