As I understand it he wants to create a shoreline power source using solar/batteries/inverter/transfer switch/generator without any modifications to the RV.
This is very doable with the correct equipment and many have done so.
This is correct. I found that the Kisae IC122055 has the built in transfer switch option that I was looking for.
I gather you don't plan on using the trailer's built in 120V AC outlets.
Instead of using a shed, I hauled around six solar panels (960W) on the roof of my fifth wheel and used the following equipment with it:
Magnum Dimensions 3000W Hybrid Pure Sine Inverter/Charger (MSH3012RV) which replaced the charger that came with the trailer. The inverter is wired directly to the trailer's 120V breaker box.
Midnite Classic 80A Solar Controller
4 - 232Ah, 6V Golf Batteries
EasyStart on the air conditioner so I could at least circulate the air using the fan of the AC.
Always had a hot coffee with the Kuerig and cooked using an induction hot plate. At night we played movies with a LED video projector onto a 100" screen hung from the wall. Such glamping!
Cheers!
Glad you found your solution Simon!
