Re: Inverter install
The simplest and safest approved way would be to install a power sensing ATS switch to avoid accidental sinusoidal (AC) conflicts… Your camper may (or may not) already have one ATS switch installed used to separate the generator from shore power…If so, the new ATS switch would be wired, generator output (from factory ATS) to IN (in, in lieu of shore power), Inverter IN, and new ATS output to main panel…IF no existing ATS present, then using new ATS switch, Shore power (or corded generator…) IN, Inverter IN, and ATS Output to main panel…
In this way it’s purely a passive operation…
The potential downside here is that the inverter (via the main panel) will want to charge the batteries (a round-robin affair) so you’ll need to switch off the converter-charger…
