Chris:
The advantage I see of hardwiring the 120V from the inverter (via the relay or that manual switch) is when you quickly pull over for a lunch break and want to use 120V for something or other.
I wasn't aware of the manual switch you reference but the relay was actually cheaper.
SMKettner:
Also wasn't aware of that relay in a box from BestConverter. Reasonable price. And I see you can disable the time delay. Got my relay on Amazon, but yes I gotta buy a box.
And you use yours with Solar & Batts and no problem with continuous relay activation on Shore power for long periods. I take it Best Converter didn't have any recommendations one way or another for theirs?
SMKettner & ScottG:
Should have mentioned that my inverter runs off the batts with solar recharge, no generator here.
So maybe I should trying putting the inverter on NC (like SMK) and save a few Ah when boondocking. Worst case is the relay will burn out somewhere in Florida while on shore power, and I can replace/reconfigure it there.
Anyway, won't start this project for another month, so have until then to decide.
Thanks for the comments.
