I’m planning to install an inverter/charger and have done a fair bit of reading on this and other forums, yet still have some concern about all my Rv power (30amp) going thru the integrated ats in the inverter/charger and needing to have the device powered “on” in order to pass through power when on shore or generator. We are on shore power when stored and most camping trips, but do dry camp about 20 days per year, 3-5 days at a time. Should I be concerned- are folks seeing high reliability from the lower price point devices say from AIMS, Renology, or Sungoldpower? If I add a standalone ATS to effectively bypass the inverter/charger/ats that would go on the output side of the inverter/charger- correct? So, two inputs (one from shore and one from inverter/charger) going to my ac panel. If Inverter/charger dies, I could still get power via shore or generator. I’ve seen other posts where they’ve done this with a changeover (manual a/b) switch and I guess a cheaper work around would be to carry 3 wire nuts, but looking for a cleaner setup ;-)
