Inverter with 50 amp service

Question

I'm trying to get this sorted out in my head. I'm looking at the Go Power IC-2000 for my new travel trailer. It's a Torque t314 and has 50 amp service. The IC-2000 has a 50 amp type transfer switch with 2 hot legs in and 2 out. I believe it will output both hot legs when passing shore power through. When on inverter power, there will only be 1 hot leg.
My confusion comes from the 50 amp service in the trailer. When I'm plugged into a 15 or 30 amp plug with an adapter, I am supplying only 1 hot leg to the trailer. But, I am still able to run all of my 120 volt stuff, 1 device at a time. Is there power management built into the trailer that will allow devices to get power from whichever leg is hot? If so, then the IC-2000 will do what I need. If not, then I don't know what to do.
After posting this, I will update my signature. Thanks.

NO power managementthe shore cord adapter, connects both legs of the TT 50amp to the single leg shore power that the adapter is plugged into

There at least a thousand threads that explain it

on 50 amp you have L1-N-L2
on 20 or 30 the adapter you use to connect to the outlet connects L-1 and L-2

So you have HOt-Neutral-Same hot

When you wire the Go-Power you do not wire it in the shore feed.

Shore---Main breaker box--30 amp breakers---Go-power---Sub box--Selected loads

Selected loads are TV. Microwave. GFCI chain and possibly the fridge and selected other outlets. You do not use the inverter for the water heater. OR air conditioners. and you will most likely disconnect the converter (IN my case I did not but that's my choice. and one very nice converter)

I read the installation manual, and it appears that it will feed inverter power to both legs, so everything will work off it, up to 2kw, of course.
I never could find anything that explicitly says that, but it shows that as one of four wiring options- 30 amp feeding sub panel, 30 amp no sub panel, and 50 amp service with or without sub panel, yours would be 50 no sub panel.

The inverter should output both sides.The 30/50 adapter actually supplies both sides.As long as the battery is charged you will have no issues.  Slam dunk.
