The reason that I ask is because it states in the Xantrex operating manual that, "All Xantrex inverters have internal circuitry to protect themselves from overload/over-current conditions".
Do you feel that this would be adequate, or do you think we should back this up with more protection?

The protection they talk about is to protect inverter and has nothing to do with the rest of your trailer electrical system that I know of. You would have to have a 50 amp protector for the shore power and the RS 3000 is 30 amp max I believe. That means the integrated switch by-passes the inverter when your connected to 50 amp shore power.
I don't have the wiring diagram here but knowing the Xantrex units workings thats my thoughts.
