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,...

Having one inverter obviates the use of switches, transfer switches, and any additional wiring which can also fail.
Agree completely, and idle draw would seem to be a minor concern if one only turns the inverter on when needed and off when it's not, easy to do since many are are supplied with a remote switch that can be mounted inside the trailer. I too don't see any advantage in a complicated wiring scheme when it's much simpler to just mount a single sine wave inverter near the battery and when dry camping just plug the trailer's main service cable into the inverter output, as I've done (7 pics). Simple, easy to implement, and within the limitations of the inverter you've chosen the trailer behaves just as it would when plugged into shore power.
