That output is going to the inverter's input. The inverter will sense that there is 120VAC on its input and its transfer switch will route that directly to the inverter's output lines.

When the generator is running the coaches xfer switch will route that to its output (the input to the inverter). Like on shore power the inverter's xfer switch will sense 120VAC on its input lines and route that directly to its output lines.

When neither generator nor shore power is connected/running the coaches xfer switch outputs nothing and the xfer switch in the inverter does not detect 120VAC on the inputs and thus turns on the inverter and routes its output to the 120VAC output lines.

The inverter's charger will only charge the battery(ies) when it detects 120VAC on the input lines (and use that to charge the battery(ies) by back feeding 12V on the wires connected to the battery(ies) ).

The coaches charger can be disconnected as it isn't needed.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to thoroughly explain all this to me. I hope I'm not the only one getting something out of all your effort. Believe it or not, it's actually starting to sink into this thick head of mine.

I need to sit with this thread for a time and take it all in. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
