Hi Larry,
My inverter powers a 30 amp female plug. I plug the shore power cord into that inverter powered outlet.
Best non-automatic transfer switch you can have ! Simple and not too expensive.
Had to think about it for a minute, but now I understand exactly that.
This is fairly common just plug the shore power cord into an inverter. You just have to watch how many watts you pull at a time not to overload the inverter...and drain your batteries quickly...the biggest thing is turning off the breaker for the converter in the rig. With the breaker on you would be using your batteries to charge your batteries and that will drain them very quickly...it would be a never ending cycle ha!
