Hi Gordon,
The shore power plugs into the inverter when you wish to use 120 volt devices when there is no power pedestal. Turn off the converter, and any other items that may drain the battery bank too fast.
When there is 120 volt power, the shore power cord is plugged in to the land line.

My turn to be confused. How are the batteries get charged if shore power plugs into the inverter ... some sort of perpetual motion generator? Is the shore cable coming in through the door / window, what about bugs / rain / cold weather?
