I would have recommended a small transfer switch for an extra circuit.
The AIMS 15/20 amp could have worked for one branch circuit.
Just so there is no mistaken possibility to energize the main cord with the inverter I suppose it is all good.
I agree. But hindsight is 20-20 I guess. I figured if I could get it at my local hardware store, and it worked, I was good. After frying an old converter once, I wanted to over-design the heck out of it. The air conditioner current draw made me over-think the problem.
And you are correct, I must be very careful not to energize the shore cable with inverter AC. Since this is an old rig, and not much chance of anyone but me using it, I am OK I guess, unless I'm drunk or something and get my wires crossed. If I sell it, I will yank everything (including solar) and put the old beast of a converter back in :)
