Zero crossing transfer switch?
My Magnum does that, once it senses ac input it synchronizes for 30 seconds then does a seamless switchover.
Both Victron and Magnum have models with dual input for gen/grid. Although in a RV you typically already have a auto transfer switch. Magnum has a full auto-gen start module that can directly start various brands of gen such as Onan, more than just a dry contact.
My Magnum also reduces shore draw based on solar input without the need for separate solar inputs, it just pulls batteries down to float if a another charge source is active and the batteries are full, inverting the excess.
Samlex looks like a good package, but I don't believe the features are unique. Wonder how much it will cost compared to Magnum/Victron.
