David I think I may be missing something. I can run my AC unit from my Magnum msh3012. Granted I have a EasyStart to reduce the starting amps. I am under the belief that you want to feed all your panel loads, minus the AC units, from your magnum inverter. If that is correct then a subpanel with those loads breakers moved to it is what a lot of us have done. However if you go through the load calculations the total combined (calculated) load will be greater than the transfer switch rating of the msh3012. In my case I relocated breakers so as to leave the washer, dryer, water heater and fridge outlets on the PD distribution bus work.



I don't know of a way to feed both 50A legs of the PD from a single phase 120 invertor with a 60A transfer switch.
