I have a solution for you but you can not connect an inverter directly to the AC input of the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger 35 Amp item # PD4135K. You will need to use the Progressive Dynamics Transfer Switch with Quick Flip Connectors - Plastic Case - 30 Amp - 120V item # PD5110010Q. This will allow you to use an inverter in place of a generator.
