Inverter and Shore Power ??
If the RV is plugged into shore power does it make any difference if the inverter stays on or not? Will it harm anything if the inverter switch is left on ?? thanks

Chris is right leaving the inverter ON (Xantrex, Magnum etc.) is really just ENABLED. While plugged into shore or running the generator the ac power is "passing through" the inverter which means it simply comes in on the input and passes directly to the output. It is not filtered or manipulated in any way so leaving it ENABLED only leaves it ready to start inverting if ac input power is lost.
So to answer the original question you can leave the inverter ON/ENABLED all the time it won't make difference as far as longevity to the components.
