I'd add this relay at the power distribution center directly below the convenience center.

Number 2 seems like he easiest solution, but this will be my first serious mod to a trailer. Maybe I'm making it too complicated?

Is there any source for 12v better than another? I have the inverter right there, I can take any.

All input and experience is appreciated!
Not really sure what you are trying to do. I just use the 120v breaker in the electrical panel to control the off/on for the HWH.
