This has come up in the past and Progressive Dynamics has confirmed that yes you can wire the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K you're looking at to an automatic transfer switch.
They added that you would need to wire the converter to the transfer switch instead of the distribution panel so it only comes on when shore power is applied.
Attached is a wiring diagram for you to check out as well. view full answer...
There's no reason the Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch # PD52 couldn't be used in a home application. This is a 240 volt/50 amp rated transfer switch that is safe to use in an RV or a house. view full answer...
Yes, the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 is designed to switch to inverter power when the shore power is disconnected (and there isn't a generator running).
There is a 20-30 second delay for the switch to jump from one power source to another and that's set in place to help you avoid losing power. For example, if you're plugged into shore power and you started up a generator, the generator has priority so this unit will switch to the generator, but only after the generator... view full answer...

I reached out to Progressive Dynamics to find out if you could have the shore power on the Normally Closed position for the Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch # PD52, and this is what I was told via our tech contact:
"I think there is confusion here; the PD52 uses two normally open contactors not a single relay with normally closed contacts in the inactive position as with the PD51. Second, the RV transfer switches are designed as "Generator Priority" that means that whenever AC voltage... view full answer...
When installing the transfer switch # 342GPTS for your Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System # 34282183 the generator/shore power should be wired to the N.O. Neutral and N.O. Hot terminals along with the converter charger.
The Inverter should be wired to the N.C. Neutral and N.C. Hot terminals. If you have the inverter on the same terminals as the shore power/generator then it will never kick back and forth between the two. The inverter can not be wired to the same terminals... view full answer...
The Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter # 34280178 can connect through a transfer switch to your RV's 12VDC battery bank.

It will also display battery wattage and voltage so that you know your power status at any time. You can use the Installation Fuse Block Kit # 342GPDCKIT5 to connect the inverter to... view full answer...
The Replacement Converter for Parallax/Magnetek or WFCO RV Power Centers # PD4635V that you referenced was designed specifically for replacing the 6332 model Magnetek converter you have so this would work great. You'd remove the converter you have now and install this in it's place.
You would need to use a transfer switch like the part # PD52 as well to go between shore power and generator power. The panel was designed for adding a transfer switch and has a section in the attached instructions... view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger part # PD4060K has a built-in converter which will charge the batteries using shore power. It does not contain an inverter or transfer switch which will power the appliances without being hooked up to shore power and cut power when shore power is plugged in. For this, you'd need the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Transfer Switch like part # PD44FR.
I have attached a sample wiring diagram below.... view full answer...
If by phase you mean the leg there is no transfer switch that is going to allow you to choose which leg you want to power. An inverter like the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger - 3,000 Watts # 34275013 is going to connect to both the main leg of your panel and the second leg, with only the second leg receiving power from the inverter when running off of the battery.
When connected to shore power the inverter will switch off and allow power to flow through the inverter... view full answer...
You'll want to leave the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 on the 20 second delay to ensure that your generator has enough time to warm up and stabilize its output before it is connected to the load side of your RV's electrical system. This will prevent any power surges that could damage the electronics inside of your RV. view full answer...
I noticed in the details that they say, "Switches from shore power, or an inverter, to a generator automatically when available. So, in the case that you unexpectedly lose shore power, the switch will automatically begin to run power to your RV's appliances from your generator." Translation: Your steaks in the refrigerator will be fine if power goes off. Same for the air conditioning should your pets be depending on it while you are away. view full answer...

You can use two 12V batteries to power the Go Power Inverter # 34275013 but that all depends on what size 12V batteries you plan on using what "short periods of use" means. I reached out to my contact at Go Power and he said that if you are using deep cycle batteries and the load is not too excessive then you should be fine.
For example, if you were trying to pull the full 3000 Watts out of the inverter that would be about 25 Amps AC or 250 Amps DC. If you were to run this for a half... view full answer...
The only ways to transfer more propane to your onboard tank is to take your RV to a refill station or have a propane truck come to your location to fill it. Chances are that a truck will not come to you for such a small purchase.
Another alternative is to use an outdoor 20 pound propane tank. You will need the MB Sturgis # 103538-MBS extended stay T-fitting. Where your gas line from the RV connects to the tank you can install this T-fitting. The included hose will run from your T-fitting... view full answer...
