I prefer manual control so that I can wire around the Magnum. Sometimes it does not "like" GFCI outlets and causes them to trip instantly.
I simply put a 30 male for feeding the Magnum, and a 30 amp female for feeding the RV from the Magnum.
If I were starting over I would go for a 48 volt battery bank. Magnum has a lovely 4000 watt 48 volt hybrid unit.
I thought about 48v when I built my system, wiring my 4x G31's in series would have been easier than parallel... but some of my DC loads are pretty big, and the cash outlay for a DC-DC converter that handled the serious wattage ended up being too much, plus I didn't want to mess with balance in the bank by just tapping 12v off one of the batteries... So, 12v it is :)
