Looks like you would need two shore powers on the pedestal. One to go to your inverter with only the things on it that it can run within its rating, and another for running your big things.
When power is lost, the big things won't work and the rest will continue to work when the inverter goes from by-pass to inverter.
This one has an elaborate way of containing that, but I can't see how you can have big things on as well, with just the 120v "input". They do mention that you might need a bigger inverter for bigger loads.
We had a thread on here a while back where a guy had one of these with 50a shore power, but I forget how it all went.
