Inverter Charger
My 12 year old Xantrex Prosine 2.0 has finally bit the dust. I used it in 2 RV's and it has served me well. I learned about the Prosine 2.0 on this forum years ago. It was a 2k watt pure sine inverter...

After much discussion and advice last year, I decided to go with a separate ATS (automatic transfer switch), even though my Prosine has a built-in transfer switch with the inverter.
I like this for multiple reasons, one of which is not limiting my shore power load to the amperage of the inverter unit.
I can easily use a smallish or largish inverter and with the 30amp ATS I have...get full 30 amps when plugged into shore power or the generator.
I also like the ability to fully control the inverter state, though I've not had experience with using the in-built version ;)
That being said, I'd agree with the above advice- separate components. Might even find a more frugal unit whose pricing went into "inverter components" instead of ATS components ;)
