My crude drawing.. I can only plug into the pedestal, of the TT/30 amp plug I mounted under RV to inverter. I can never connect two power sources...
That's a typo that I lifted the ground wire in the TT 30 amp... I was going to for safety but not needed because the TT have a floating neutral and is not tied to ground...
And a good inverter to get with open nuetral are these kriegers. No GFI. Cheap and a 3 year warranty.
Keep it close to the batts. No reason to use more then the 1100 watt unit. Becuse if you drew close to 1000 watts for a appliance that would be 90 amps..
Run 2 gauge or better and try to keep it close, like 7 ft or less from batts.

I used their fuse but ran my own 2 gauge wire... ( I think the wire they supply is aluminum... not sure)

Good drawing of the situation that started the thread. I'mm trying to avoid the "pita" that SoundGuy got around by adding new receptacles to his inverter, by trying to utilize the existing wiring and outlets. I understand that it's dangerous if I hit them from 2 different AC power sources simultaneously.
That's what I wanted to do.
The GFCi to GFCI thing was mentioned in a prior comment addressed to me with red text. I said I wasn't sure how that would work, but I was thinking Drew's explanation of either one or the other tripping, was the most likely result.
