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...

Thanks. Attaching it to my WFCO 30 - if it fits - seems perfect. I'm only confused with the wiring.
According to the reviews it won't work with inverter as is. Users recommend - quote: (to disconnect your CONVERTER input power from the circuit breaker and re-route it to the SHORE POWER input on the switch with a 15 AMP fuse so that it cuts the power to the CONVERTER when the INVERTER is switched on) - unquote.
A switch with 15A fuse, where? I'll have to open WFCO panel and look but I don't remember a dedicated converter breaker in this model, only the main A/C breaker - if this is it. Users also complain on a dangerous delay and suggest disconnecting the delay jumper.
yup thats how mine is with the go power auto change over. the converter only comes on when you are on shore power. otherwise you have your inverter trying to charge your batteries if thats what you are using as your second power source, if it is a generatore then you can leave it alone. I didn't install a second fuse though as the line just goes to my breaker for the converter
