Inverter wiring setup
Hello all. I am new but have read many posts on this subject already and wanted to post my setup idea here to see if it sounds right. My rig is a small Fleetwood Prowler 717B hybrid travel trailer...

What are you trying to accomplish with the converter relay? I'm confused about that part of things.
The converter circuit does not appear to me to be at the output of the inverter. If you're connected to shore power (or the generator), the converter runs because it has AC power available. If you're using the inverter, the converter is not converting because it receives no AC input; it's just as though you had no AC power of any sort available. Switching off a dead circuit doesn't accomplish anything.
Otherwise, your plan looks entirely reasonable to me. You have one string of three or so outlets that will be run from the inverter when it's on or from shore power/generator power when that's available, thanks to the transfer switch in the inverter. Everything else is either dead (independent of the inverter) or connected to shore power/generator power.
No, I agree completely. I had just read so many posts saying I have to flip off that breaker no matter what that I lost my train of thought there. You can even see it in this thread.
edit: Just wanted to add thanks for providing feedback on my setup.
