Greetings. I just purchased a new 3160RL with a factory installed generator. Most of our time is spent boon-docking without hookups. I plan to install extra batteries, an inverter and solar panels. My thoughts are to install a manual transfer switch between the factory installed automatic transfer switch and the shore power connection. I’ll also be mounting a Hughs Autoformer in the line.

Any thoughts or advice on using a second transfer switch to tie the inverter into the system? I think I will only power one of the AC busses from the inverter; all the stuff I want (mostly the TV) is on one bus. The other bus has the air conditioner, microwave, water heater, converter, etc on it; stuff I do not want connected to the inverter.

Attached is a simple drawing of what I am planning. It only shows the hot leads; neutral & ground will be connected as usual.

Anybody see a problem with this?

Thanks
