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...

I am not a tech but have had some inverter experience on the water & on land.
Backfeeding is not good. It involves a loud bang & smoke as the inverter is destroyed.
These days I like doing things manually. I have a 1500w pure sine wave inverter going to the automatic transfer switch & a converter/charger.
Part of the drill for dry camping is to turn the breaker powering the converter/charger off, along with the water heater, microwave & fridge breakers. For shore power the inverter is turned off, i.e. not in the automatic mode.
