AC Breaker for Hybrid Inverter

I am using this hybrid inverter for a (mostly) DC system, but I plan on having a couple of AC outlets as well. I had planned on wiring the outlets together and running them through this 20A breaker before the reach the hybrid inverter. Does that sound right?

If it does, I don't really understand where to attach what on the 20AMP breaker. I don't have an AC breaker box as this is my only AC breaker, I was thinking I would just zip tie and glue it to something in my battery shed.

Please let me know what you think or if I need to provide more information and thank you for your help!
 
Depending on if you have any code requirements you might just go with a small din rail AC breaker and box with enough room to put in a couple of distribution blocks for wiring the outlets.

Sorry, should have clarified, this is going in a van so no codes to follow. Would you still recommend the distribution box? it looks like the first one you shared could work, I have 3 outlets in total I'll be using.

If your outlets are wired in series than just a breaker and smaller box should do it. Likely would not need the copper bar in that case.
 
Okay does the box play an important roll? I am very limited on space, I was hoping for something like the DC breakers but I haven't found any products like that.
