Converter/Inverter wiring

I recently eliminated my non working Inverter/Charger, and replaced with a New PD9260 Converter/Charger. I now want to add a stand alone Sine wave inverter. My coach has a factory sub panel for the inverter outlets.

I'd like to power the converter off the same circuit that supplies the shore power to the transfer switch to the inverter sub panel. This should isolate the converter to shore power only.

Does this appear to be an acceptable wiring plan?

VERY SIMPLE.

If your new inverter has a built in transfer switch (often called "pass through feature"), wire like this:

Shore power in to main breaker box.
Separate fuse in main breaker box for inverter IN
Inverter OUT to sub-panel of only those things you want powered by inverter.

If the new inverter does not have a built in transfer switch, you will need to add one. Wiring would be:
Shore power in to main breaker box.
Separate fuse in main breaker box to new ATS
Inverter OUT new ATS
New ATS to sub-panel of only those things you want powered by inverter.

Only if you add some type of circuit protection.
