This I changed my Axis electrical grid.
Not cheap but had fun upgrading our BIG TOY.
1st added 3600 watt Rinology inverter.
2nd added a transfer switch
Wired the second transfer switch so: if shore power or generator power use that first for main power panel.

Without external power and inverter on, inverter is power source for the main panel.

3rd Now to eliminate 2 issues at the main panel. I have installed a if than connections, ( Schneider Electric/Legacy Relay 92S11A22D-120 Power Relay, Dpdt, 120VAC, 30A, ) in the main panel, for the airconditoning and the coverter charger circuits. This divice interrupts power to the airconditioner and the charger if it sees power from the inverter.
This makes it so neither can run if inverter is on.
Ok at this point you could stop.
When inverter is on everything 110 AC will work as long as your batteries last, except airconditioner and charger.
If you plug in or start generator AC will work and charger will recharge the batteries.

While driving the rv batteries will also charge.
My next step was where it gets expensive.
Added lithium 2 100amp, new charger, 400 watt solar, bmi.

I see this as to separate entities 1 inferstructure upgrade then techology upgrade to lithium.
