This mess would only require 1 or 2 amps of AC to run everything.

DPDT, with center off?


That should work. You just need to make sure that nothing with a
higher power requirement is turned on when you switch. The switch
that I used is rated at over 50 amps but I still turn off almost
everything to minimize arcing.

That might be more sensible than fooling with the plug.


I think so. It also gives you the option of installing a higher power
inverter in the future and powering other things without installing
extra plugs and wiring.
