Depends on what your setup will look like whether or not you'd only need the transfer switch that comes with the Go Power Solar kit part # 34282184. If you only will have the solar panel kit and AC outlet power from a campsite as power sources you'd bypass you current transfer switch, but if you will also have option of powering the setup from a generator you'll need to retain the switch you have now as well. view full answer...
Yes, you can use a single circuit with a transfer switch like the Furrion part # F50ATS. You'd run your generator and your RV power supply to the transfer switch and then the output to the furnace and it could be then powered by either power source. view full answer...
The Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 that you referenced is exactly what you'd need! This is a replacement for the transfer switch you have now that is designed for 30 amps and will work great. I attached a review video for more info for you to check out too. view full answer...
Yes, the Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch part # PD52 has an automatic design with 50 amp rating and it's made right here in the USA. We also offer the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch part # 34270278 which is an automatic switch with 50 amp rating made here in the USA. They are both great options, the Go Power is slightly smaller but I would go with whichever is more cost effective at the time. view full answer...
What you have now is a 50 amp automatic transfer switch so for a replacement you would want the Furrion part # F50ATS that you referenced and you'd be set. This one does hum but they all do this unfortunately. view full answer...
The transfer switch is needed if you plan to use more than one AC power source for your camper. So if you use shore power from a camp site and also want to be able to use a generator you need the transfer switch like the part # 34270278.
With DC power you can run more than one power source to a circuit and there's no issue but with AC power you can't run two power sources to same circuit at same time which is why the transfer switch is needed. view full answer...
I recommend using the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34275013. This will reduce all the components into one system by combining your transfer switch inverter and converter/charger into one unit. You will be able to wire in your 50 amp circuit with this unit. This will mean less wiring and space required for your setup and only one panel to monitor everything in your system.
On a 50 amp RV circuit you have 2 separate 120 volt holt circuits that feed into the RV.... view full answer...
I can see why you would want to install the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 as it would protect your system from power back feed, but the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4135K does come with some safety features to protect itself in some cases. For instance, If a battery is accidentally hooked up backwards, the converter will be protected. An easily accessible ATC type fuse will blow when a battery is connected in reverse. Replace with same type and rating.... view full answer...
There isn't a way to wire our 50 amp transfer switches to work with 30 amp so your best solution would be a 30 amp switch like the Furrion part # F30ATS. view full answer...
Any time you have more than one AC power source you need to use a transfer switch like the # 34264403. This kit will automatically switch from the inverter power to shore power when available. But since you have a 45 amp power center and the transfer switch you referenced is only designed for 30 amps you'd want the 50 amp Furrion Transfer Switch part # F50ATS.

The Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger part # 34280055 is my recommendation for an all-in-one unit that can take input from AC and convert this to DC for charging batteries as well as switching from solar to shore power when needed. The transfer switch is automatic as well so there will be no need to manually flip switches. It can also be used as an inverter for powering AC accessories with DC batteries. view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter part # PD1210NR is just what you are looking for as it comes with a built-in transfer switch which will automatically change to shore power when available. It also comes with a wall switch which lets you control the unit while in the RV. view full answer...
The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4575K18LS8 does have a converter to go from AC power input to DC power to charge the batteries of your RV.
This does not come with a transfer switch so if you were planning on powering the panel from two AC power sources like a generator and a campsite power plug you'd need a transfer switch like part # PD5110010Q if you have 30 amp service or part # PD52 if you have 50 amp service. view full answer...
If you are simply wanting to operate the refrigerator I suggest you consider using the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch - Remote - 1,000 Watts - 12V, # PD1210NR. With this you can create a circuit that our residential refrigerator will operate on when not connected to shore power, it will draw from your onboard battery bank. However, because of the automatic transfer switch it will pull from shore power when available. This will not attempt to put charge... view full answer...
Since you want the powered accessories on the trailer to run off of both 110 AC power and 12 volt DC power you will need what is called a transfer switch and probably some additional wiring including the batteries.
A transfer switch will automatically switch to running off AC power when the trailer is plugged in and then revert back to DC power. The trouble is that the accessories using the power have to be rated for AC and DC power.
This is actually a fairly major operation. We do... view full answer...
We have exactly what you are looking for.
Since you do not have an inverter already, I recommend the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Transfer Switch # 34279458 which has a built in transfer switch that will switch from the inverter to shore power when it is available. This 1500 watt inverter will convert the 12v DC power from the batteries in your 5th wheel trailer to AC power allowing you to power your refrigerator while on the road without needing to use propane.

The Furrion RV Refrigerator # FCR14ACBQABL is rated for 1.268 kWh/24h which is the equivalent of 1,268 Watts so I recommend going with at least the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch # PD64FR which is rated for 2,000 Watts.
The beauty of this inverter is that is has a built-in transfer switch so you'll actually be connecting both your battery bank and your shore power wiring to this unit and it will automatically pull power from shore power when you're connected... view full answer...
The Furrion Transfer Switch - 50 Amp # F50ATS can be added to your 5th wheel trailer along with the 50 amp power inlet like # A10-50INVP or # A10-50INBKVP.
Most generator inverters will use a 30 amp generator cord, so you will use the Mighty Cord Generator Adapter for RV Power Cord - 50 Amp Female to 30 Amp Twist Lock Male # A10-G30450VP and then power cord # A10-5025ED. This cord is the shortest we carry at 25 feet long. This combination will allow you to power your refrigerator from... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but none of our power transfer switches will allow you to switch between three AC power sources. However, I do have a way for you to do this but you will need to install two power transfer switches like the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch part # 34264403 for example. A transfer switch will have a single dominate side. So how the input is wired into the switch will affect how it passes power through, so two switches could be wired using the attached photo view full answer...
I spoke with Go Power about your question and this is what they sent me in response:
"They are correct in the weekender the converter is wired into the transfer switch so it only comes on when shore power is applied. In the larger kits the converter is disabled because the inverter also contains a converter. You don’t want the inverter powering a converter which is trying to charge the batteries. Big current draw loop."
They also sent me a picture that I attached to this page that... view full answer...
