I am sorry how I asked my question. What I meant was can I plug my shore power directly into my 2000 watt inverter, The inverter does not have a charger. I have a 75 amp converter, but I would have to turn it off along with electric water heater and put frig on L.p. So my question is with all that said can I just plug shore power cord into my inverter
Yes you can install a 15 to 50 amp adapter to the output of the inverter, and HOPE that every time you have the inverter running that the converter will be off. However there is probably a better way.
One way is to install a transfer switch. You would have the inverter output go to some receptacles in the RV, such as the microwave, TV and other desired circuits. I installed something like this with a new sub-panel in a fifth wheel. The owner needed to power a CPAP in the bedroom, microwave, and other items. I installed a 4 circuit sub-panel, 30 amp transfer switch, 30 amp breaker in the old main panel to power the transfer switch and sub-panel from shore power.
The other way is to have a 50 amp receptacle in the same compartment as the shore power cord, and plug in the shore power to the 50 amp receptacle powered by the inverter By having your 75 amp converter plug in right next to the inverter plug, hopefully you will remember to unplug it each time you plug into the inverter. You still be at risk of dead batteries if you turn on the inverter while the converter charger is still plugged in to the inverter output.
The way I would recommend if you are the do it yourself type, is to put the 120 volt output of the inverter into a couple of extension cords. Run these up to the microwave area, near the TV set, and other places you might need power. Then use a power strip, or buy a cord with 3 outputs, and then plug in what you might need to run from that location. Change back to the shore power receptacle when the inverter is off. Or run it from the inverter even while on shore power, the converter will keep up with the inverter's needs.
