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.
That's what I did. I would first turn off all of the circuit breakers, then plug in the inverter, and then would turn on individual circuit breakers for what I wanted powered.
That avoided me trying to power things like the fridge and water heater on 110 and the converter/battery charger.
It was a hassle. I'm looking at these so that I can power specific breakers from the outlets on the inverter:
