That would be two different items.
A standard transfer switch is used to switch between shore power and genset. It is normally located in a void around the converter if equipped.
The inverter has or most have, an internal switch that goes from shore-power/genset to batteries. It is located inside the inverter. The inverter makes 120 volts AC from 12 volt DC in an RV.
