You buy an inverter w/ a remote switch on it.

And an ATS take the converter out of the system

Huh? What pure sine inverter comes with a remote switch that won't break the bank? How would that remote switch shut off the 110v battery charger charger? Why would I want to have to toggle 2 switches instead of one?
You can add a remote switch to this inverter:
http://www.amazon.com/Xantrex-808-9001-PROwatt-Remote-Switch/dp/B002W87JNO/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1449358864&sr=1-2&keywords=Xantrex+switch
But then I would still have to remember to turn off the breaker to the battery charger when using it, and also to turn it back on when running the generator to charge the batteries.

Perhaps I could use this switch plus a 5 pin relay to turn on the battery charger when the switch is off? If so, can I feed 12v as the sense circuit, but 110v as the power source for the relay?

Why? Seriously.
Without studying the diagram and notes closely it looks like overkill to me.

I hope you realize that to get 1KW out of the inverter, it will require close to 100 amps at 12 V input. That will require some seriously thick 12 V cables and connectors to keep from overheating.

Why not? Do you have a better suggestions? I was thinking to run some 4ga or 0ga wire from the battery to the inverter, it will pull up to 115amps at 100% load according to reviews. Would a 600 watt inverter work better instead? Friends are suggesting I get a 2kw inverter and more batteries, so I thought 1000w would be enough. However if I should go lower please share your reasoning!

What about the diagram is overkill? The on/on switch? Do you have a better solution to running the whole trailer off an inverter and ATS that will guarantee you don't leave the inverter pumping power back into the battery via the battery charger?

Please share your ideas!
