Question on transfer switch with inverter and generator

We mostly dry camp, rarely on shore power except at home. I installed 1000w of solar and have 630 AH of battery (3x Rolls 12 @ 210 AH each, big beasts). Inverter is a 2000w Kisae PSW, and I run a cord...

the auto OFF converter part, means doing some rewiring and a sub-panel

if you can remember to turn off the converter circuit breaker

the switching between the inverter and the generator can be done by
by DIY build
PUT a TS switch in a weather proof box (plastic ammo can?)
need too male plugs, one female outlet, and right size cord
female outlet is for the RV shore cord
(2) male cord ends, one to connect inverter, one to connect generator
default is for inverter to be connected, switches to generator when genny is started
