Greenrvgreen,
Yes I have the 3012.
So far as I am aware the problem may be related to only my installation. The folks at Magnum were no help at all, which is unusual. Fortunately I can remove it from the circuit easily and go back to the OEM converter.

In your shoes, I'd look at the Victron and Outback hybrid units, as well as Magnum. I would still use male and female plugs so I could "patch" around any difficulties. If I had not done so there would be times where I would not be able to use shore power at all.
One other minor issue is that with the 3012 I can not do "double conversion" It kills the reverse polarity fuses on my PD 40 amp converter more or less instantly. I have a work around for that, too (yes, a set of male and female plus). With my old Cobra 2500 watt MSW inverter that was not an issue.
