DIY RV Electricity

Thanks Brian! Yes! The CAM switch is set up so that the converter is never run off the inverter. Since the circuit is never closed when the inverter is selected, it makes it more idiot proof. I originally had an auto transfer switch set up between the shore power and the inverter and a relay between the inverter and converter (The relay switch I saw done here -option 3, but with a different configuration overall: Relay Switch ) to make the transfer automatic. However because of the transfer switch it made it would make the relay switch no longer work since I don't think it could tell the difference between shore and inverter power. What I was most worried about (why the cam switch install), was like you said - running the inverter and converter at the same time.

The reason that the generator is not on a transfer switch between the shore power is because the Generator is not actually wired in and I don't see a use for both ever at once anyway (not to mention that our Genny has a 30amp plug straight into it). When boondocking we'll plug in our genny, when camping we wont. I didn't think about what you said regarding 30amp plug arcing/over-heating - are the related issues something that the Surge protector would guard against (other than, well, fire - of course)? Thanks a ton for your feedback, a transfer switch between the genny and shore power is something that I'm going to look at more seriously.
