Thanks Dennis Got the first part - you effectively created a sub panel for loads allowed to be fed by the inverter.
For shore power, it sounds like you are feeding the HL panel directly (after the main breaker) and then jumping to the rotary switch which then directs either inverter or shore power to the sub panel. Did I read that correctly?
