Automatic transfer switch


Finishing up Solar upgrade on 2022 Rockwood Roo 235S

Now have 4 200 W panels on camper, (have room for 2 more panels, in future) 85 Victron Mppt controller, Battery Shutt, 2 LiTime 230Ah batteries. 1000W inverter. Generator as needed

Boondocking 3-4 days at a time. No AC needed, Inverter probably little used

Spent enough money, do i really need Automatice transfer switch?

2nd question: I Have Solar panels for roof of house, can i plug into side port of Roo? And instead of buying new controller for portable panel, use Go Power GP-PWM-30-UL controller that came with camper? Attached are panel specifications

Where do you want the ATS? Generator to house or inverter to house?
 
Yes the RV, what do you want to transfer generator or inverter.
 
Usually an auto transfer switch changes both the hot & neutral (so you don’t have a neutral ground bond issue).

In my MotorHome the auto transfer switch- is between the pedestal (grid) and the generator. That way there is no way they can run at the same time.

What are the sources you are trying to switch?
