BFL13, that is what we do now too. Last time out I found myself running the generator each day because of cloudy conditions, and found it a pain to keep switching between the cords. Eventually, I'd either have a generator wired to the transfer switch with auto-start or get one with remote as well. Want to be able to operate everything without always doing the manual route.
Right, so just stay on inverter the whole time except at home, and only use gen or shore power to run the converter. Also works when you only have 15a shore power (at somebody's house or at a fairground for dog trials) and you want to run the MW, etc. and not pop one of their breakers.)
The trick is to have a three receptacle end #12 cord to go in the gen or pedestal. The converter goes in one. Another short #12 goes in another with its three receptacles end.
When you want to be on shore power for everything at home, you plug the Rv into that short one's. Heading out, the RV shore cord goes in the inverter and now the long cord to the gen only does the converter.
