None from waht I see.
Micro
A/C
Front outlet
Rear outlets
And an empty breaker
If you unlatch the catch lever (looks like one from the picture) near the circuit breakers and remove any screws that are holding the metal around the AC circuit breakers, the metal can be removed. You should see that the 15 and 20 amp circuit breakers have multiple wires to some. Determine which wire powers your converter. Remove it from that breaker if installing another breaker to switch it.
You can either move the power wire from the converter to an added 20 amp circuit breaker in the empty slot, add a switch (as I posted), or install a receptacle and install a male plug on the converter wiring.
What you're trying to accomplish is to remove power, temporarily, while your inverter supplies power via the shore power cord. You can't interrupt the converter power with the main 30 amp breaker and use the inverter in a "whole house" aspect.
Why are you having a difficult time with this?
