2 inverters to a 3 position switch?
I'm planning on being able to plug my trailers 30a power cord into either shore power or generator or inverter. We'll use a 300w invertor most of the time but for brief use of microwave, coffee maker,...

you can do it with ATS transfer switches , 30amp double double throw relays in a box, cost $70-$99 each, you will need two, plus plugs and wire for connecting them
and you will need a 2way rocker or toggle switch too control them, so only one inverter can be active ( it has to be either-or ) not two switches , it has too be only one can connect
this is only switching the outputs, so you need other switches for remote on off
safer and easier to mount them side by side and just move the shore plug
easier still to just use ONE inverter, get one with load sense, that turns on when used and has super low idle current needs when not being used
