No need for open leg
Use a 50 > 30 > 20 adapter's
Plug into the inverter If the inverter is the hard wired type
Wire with short cord to a 30a or 50a adapter
Using an outlet and plugging in shore cord is foolproof
You can NEVER be cross connected for a dangerous n situation

Hi Larry,
My inverter powers a 30 amp female plug. I plug the shore power cord into that inverter powered outlet.
Best non-automatic transfer switch you can have ! Simple and not too expensive.
Had to think about it for a minute, but now I understand exactly that.

Are you saying you wish to run the RV as an uninterruptible power supply?

I should clarify that my plan is to have the inverter wired into the panel so I can run anything on shore power or battery bank/solar.
I suppose you should just switch off the second leg breaker but it sort of squashes the whole automatic switching thing. The only make I know of who has a full 50A passthrough is Go Power but I've read mixed reviews on them.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you run one leg of the 50A service to the inverter and the second leg directly to the panel, when the inverter is running wouldn't you be backfeeding the second leg.

Inverter/chargers have installation manuals. It is common to have an inverter/charger with a 50a RV. Just do what the manual says and you will be fine.
