Not if you give it power from the panel on it's own 15A circuit breaker. That power will then come from the gen/shore and allow the charge portion to charge.
Lets say that you have 1 15A circuit right now that has all stuff you want with inverter power (TV, etc). Disconnect the wire from that breaker and re-route it to the inverter. Then run a section of new wire from that same circuit breaker into the inverter. Re-hook the main AC line to the main breaker, and leave the 12V wires as is. This will fix your A/C issue and any potential microwave or other overuse issue.
I will say that at 20A your batteries will be quite slow to charge compared to the 45-55A converter you unhooked (assuming 45-55).
I see! Doesn't sound too complicated. So to be clear, disconnect one breaker and connect that to the input of the invertor. With the output of the inverter, where does that go? From reading above, back into the same breaker?
What if I want more than one 15amp circuit to be powered by the inverter? I have outlets all over the toyhauler that we use to charge phones/tablets.
