I installed an outlet from the inverter (3000W) in the basement next to the shore cord reel. When boondocking I plug the shore cord into the outlet, this give power to the whole rig. I use a transfer switch wired with the shore in and the generator in and the rig out. I use 2 relays first gets picked when the inverter is on which opens the 120V feed to the converter. Thus inverter = no power to converter. The second relay is picked when the generator is on and opens the above circuit. Thus generator = converter power on. Sounds complicated but is not. I use a small 12V wall transformer plugged into the inverter to power the circuit. The first relay has a 12V coil and the second has a 120V coil. Absolutely reliable and no memory required.
