It does have a transfer switch. I have the inverter on right now and shore power hooked up. No problems so far. Until this trip, the battery disconnect inside the front compartment for the fridge was bad from the factory and had to be replaced, so using the inverter wasn't an option. Now it's working, so I guess when not wanting to run the fridge I could either turn off the inverter or the battery disconnect now. Just wondering if it's OK to leave on.
It makes sense it would be, otherwise if power went out, there's no backup for the fridge like we had with propane before.
