Two inverters for 50 amp service
We have a Go Power IC Series 3000 watt inverter and 50 amp service on our 5th wheel. I have 2 complaints about it that I wasn't aware of when it was installed. The monitor panel only monitors Line...

I don’t see that as a problem at all. While on shore power the 2 inverters are synchronized. If not on shore power the 2 inverter outputs are derived from the batteries and not the inverters AC inputs.
What is not been made clear is that each A/Cs AC input must be directly connected with a CB to its inverter AC output bypassing the RV CB panel. Hence the A/Cs will always use the inverter unless an appropriate switch (DPDT) is included. Why? On shore 20A and 30A the two hot lines are connected/shorted and hence if the ACs were connected to them it’s a direct short across both inverters. And with 50A there is 240V across the 2 hots.
Personally I don’t like what the Cptn wants to do but he’s gotta do what’s best for him.
