why not just put in a transfer switch. Most/all can easily handle this job and are designed and certified to do it. That's what I did. Mormally they are set up to transfer betwen shore power and generator, but the can be configured to switch between shore power and inverter just as easily. When configured for this, they can be set for no time delay for generator warm up.
I think that's what SMKettener linked to above. Wasn't aware of it at the time. If I had been would probably have gone that route as they're not that expensive. But they are a little big.
But finding an electrical box for this relay will not be that hard, and, hey, I'll save maybe $15-20 !!
yes that is a link to a transfer switch. there are smaller ones around. I have one that is designed to slide right onto the back of a WFCO power panel. fits well, IIRC they are under $100.
