With all due respect I think you need to slow down, read some more on basic electricity, then think thru what you are doing. The 15 amp shore power supplies those outlets. The converter i89s the device that changes 120 vac to 12v dc to charge the battery and operate 12v dc circuits.
A 1,000 watt inverter will at best produce 8.3 amps, 1,000 watts divided by 120 volts = 8.33 amps.
The circuit will support 15 amps per the circuit breaker and the 14 gauge wire going to the outlets. What type of "AC selector switch" are you talking about?
