I bought an extension cord (14ga), measured from the inverter, thru a half inch hole I drilled in the adjoining wall to the location I wanted an outlet. Having previously cut off the female end of the extension cord, I crimped eyelet connectors on the bare wires and surface mounted an ordinary outlet. I used a gray electrical box without ears. I drilled 3 holes in the back of it and screwed onto the wall where I wanted an outlet.
Maybe you could mod this idea for your situation.

Thanks. I was thinking about something similar. I will use a short 20A capable (oversized) extension cord and connect it to the romex loop in a junction via AC selector switch so I can power the three plugs on with either 15A from the converter when on shore power or inverter when running on batteries.
