ok, misread something there. You are running a cord from the converter straight to the generator (unplugged from AC panel in trailer)? I guess that could work too, I would have to find an easier way to plug the converter back into the breaker box to get the shore power (or I guess just run extension cord from converter to house?)
As above except I have a plug- in cord on the converter, not hard wired. If hard wired you would have to re-wire it. Don't need a 30a shore cord, so the #12 is fine to the gen or pedestal to run the converter, and the inverter runs the MW ok on its 15a receptacle. Just needs the usual "power management" not to run everything at once.
We never need air conditioning, so that is the deal breaker for this method if you do.
Of course if solar is not happening, you can use the inverter's remote on/off to only have that on when actually running something 120v
Except get on sale for half this

also they have the three foot one as the short piece. You don't need all three but they don't have a two.
