I was already thinking about killing the breaker to the 12 volt converter during dry camping as the solar should take care of them ( 2 x 185 watt panels ) and don't plan on running the gen set long enough for charging and to eliminate a loop ( running inverter and inverter trying to run converter to charge battery's ,etc endless loop ) but it would be nice to not have to run a cord to shore power from inverter and just hard wire the inverter in. maybe I can find a inverter that can auto shut down if it see another AC line coming in. the problem is a lot of those type inverters have what's called as a pass through. but I did not want to start a rewiring job with the gen set or shore power , etc And auto switchs are not cheap for on that can handle full shore power loads
