If you have a top notch converter, then it is hard to justify a combination inverter/charger/transfer switch. It is easy, if you are shopping for a new converter. The wiring is SO MUCH SIMPLER !
The larger Samlex units (>2000w) have a separate generator input and a relay you can use to do a remote start on the generator.

I’m thinking I’ll get two good standalone units based on the information you guys gave me. A PD92xx and probably a small 1000w inverter. This also allows me to shut off the inverter when I don’t need it and not shut off the converter..

Do most inverter/chargers include a transfer switch?
Is it better to get two standalone units or should I get an inverter/charger to replace both?
