sorry for the confusion, its the "our converter automatically switches" thing

that is the same for every RV

the converter is connected to the house breaker box

the converter is on, no matter which 120v source you have, shore or generator, the converter doesn't switch between anything
the ATS chooses your 120v power source, the converter like the rest of the RV, uses what ever is available
