Question on inverter/charger AC backfeed
Hi all. New member here about to pickup a Grand Design this weekend and I'm already planning out upgrades to make the rig 100% usable off grid. I'm versed in electrical but the whole inverter/charger...

Any system that backfeeds the electric panel is likely to be dangerous, as it would leave the shore power cord live when it's unplugged. A built-in generator with a transfer swtich is okay because of the transfer switch, which disconnects the shore power cord when the generator is supplying power; but if the generator is not running, the shore cord is connected to the electric panel and any power present there would be exposed at its plug.
This is exactly what I'm thinking. I've seen a bunch of write ups on this kind of system but no one has addressed the open leg from the panel.
