Autimatic Transfer Switch?
Was about to order switch by TRC/Southwire, 30A, huge 14" box, $95. Then found an old thread by Mr Wizard, he bought some Chinese motor-driven gizmo for less than half of the cost - and it was small...

Im' interested in how these work also, my 50amp auto change over just went this spring, well half of it went to I had to rewire it for shore power operation so that means we can't use the inverter untill I get it replaces. a new rv one is 400 to 500 bucks so a reliable cheeper option would be great as this is the 2nd one in 8 years to die. the first one I think was because they tried to cheat me and only put a 30amp changeover in.
WFCO makes a 50A transfer switch as well. I have no firsthand experience with it, just the 30A one I've been discussing here.

ya a bunch of companies make generic ATS, go power, progresive dynamics, WFCO and so on. the bad thing about this advertisment link is they don't how any pictures of the inside, but thanks for this link as it shows the inside and now I can look how they butchered my wires when they installed the go power one and see if I can make this one work. It always amazes me at the low quality work that is kicked out of repair shops and dealerships by rv tecks and we are all ok with it. in this case they installed the ATS and didn't leave and extra inch of wire, dosn't make sence in somthing that can vibrate down the road.
