Default User installed invertor, suggestions for how to wire in?

I have a new Gulstream Endura Gladiator, and it came without an invertor. My kids like to play video games on the road, and in the old RV we just put the 2KW sine wave invertor under the seat and plugged the TV and Video game into the outlet on the invertor. We had to remember to turn the invertor off when we got to our destination.

I am thinking of wiring the same invertor into the new gladiator in a more permanent manner. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

These are some thoughts I had:

1) I would like the invertor to come on automatically if the main diesel engine is running, and the generaetor is not running.

2) I would like to have a bypass switch to make the invertor come on when the diesel engine is not running.

3) The invertor is not powerful enough to run the A/C units, so do I just have to remember to not run them when the invertor is providing power (This would be a problem if I wired the invertor into the main RV wiring for 110V).

4) One option might to to just run an extra set of outlets for the invertor only, not use the existing RV wiring. Then I wouldn't have to worry about being plugged into the 50A circuit, or worry about the generator running or not.

5) Does anyone know approximately how the invertor would have been wired in if the coach had come from the factory with an invertor? Would it just have powered some of the outlets, and not the A/C units?

Thanks for your time.
