When dry camping, could I run a power cord from the inverter to the shoreline cable with an adapter thus using the existing transfer switch. Limiting it to 15 amps with a resettable power strip. Only problem may be that the fridge will be on the inverter's 110v instead of propane. Then when I turn on the generator, the transfer switch in the MH should isolate the inverter. Right???? Also, could my DW use her hair dryer at half speed and heat and I can use the microwave at half power , obviously not at the same time.
Do you have a built in gen and a transfer switch with shore power or not?
If you do, and you have the shore cord into the inverter via adapter, and you now turn on the gen, you could get 240v and fry everything AFAIK
EDIT--DrewE explained that my notion there is wrong, and the transfer switch will cut off the shore power- inverter source when the gen comes on so you won't fry things.
