Yes, I wanted something a bit different, and I like the fact (especially
for the EU with their low amperage camp grounds), that you can join the
grid power and the battery power together.

I believe you can also set it up to take 230V 40-65 Hz or so input and output 110V / 60 Hz

My 23' had the (in my opinion) best solution to the '30 amps might not be sufficient' conundrum. Beside the breaker box was a toggle switch. Water
heater up, air conditioner down. Never blew the pole breaker with it. No thought required. First morning out, there's still enough hot water for
the dishes. For supper, swap to the water heater for half an hour, then back to the A/c, samesame in the morning.
I cured this when the 40 y/o switches began to disintegrate by putting in the 7500Watt Chinese genset and wiring the coach panel for 50 amps
120 or 220 depending on the outlet it's plugged into. It has an 'either or' breaker to select genset or shore power in lieu of the original
(marginal) 30 amp toggle.

The late Royale upfits (77 - 78) had the best of most worlds. Lightweight
power cord that stores easily, propane powered hot water heater with engine
coolant heat exchanger, 6000 watt generator, 30 amp breakers, usually only
a single roof A.C. a toggle type circuit breaker that cannot be switched
wrong. Because I converted my gaucho bunks to a crossways queen bed, I
installed a 50 amp automatic transfer switch that eliminates the toggle
breaker. When you start the generator, it automatically switches after a 30
second delay to allow the Genet to warm up and stabilize voltage. Works for
me very well.
