I would rather replace a transfer switch than a $1000+ residential fridge or A/C unit if the generator would have a problem with its output.

Also.... under the "stuff" happens category...... if a transfer switch ever malfunctioned (contacts sticking closed on one side, etc.), could the TS allow both shore power and generator power to flow simultaneously if they were both present? If so, 240V could be sent from the TS and through the rig frying a lot of electronic equipment. The EMS would prevent that from ever happening.

If the EMS is placed after the transfer switch, the coach electronics are fully protected from any potential power input issues.

50 amp rigs ARE 240 volts.
