The T-57 has a DIP switch that can bypass the time delay. I used a 30A ATS that has a jumper to solder in to bypass the delay if wanted.
I wrote down that I used the NC contacts for inverter also to avoid powering the ATS from the inverter.
Got to finish my wiring drawing before I forget how I did it, photos help with my memory and hand scratched notes.
Just made a block diagram so far.- Gene

I have been really happy with it. We just got back from a four week trip in the rig and it performed flawlessly. Wiring was pretty straightforward, but I am also very familiar with wiring. The Magnum has a built in transfer switch that handles two legs of 30 amps. Since the rig has two legs of 50 amps, and I wanted to keep my options open for a second air conditioner I wanted to keep that 50 amp capability. I removed the line cord from the stock breaker panel and brought it into a new panel I bought that I installed in the passenger side pass through storage compartment. I moved the circuits from the stock panel into that panel that I did not need to run off the inverter. Hot water heater, both AC units, and the fridge. I also put in a 30 amp double pole breaker that fed the inverter, and then took the output of the inverter and used that to feed the stock breaker panel. This means that everything in the rig except the loads I moved to the new panel run off of the inverter. Nothing to plug or unplug or no special outlets to keep track of. When I unplug the rig everything switches over, and it is quick enough that the microwave does not loose time, and the PC that I have setup behind the TV does not even shut off.
I will try to post some photos later tonight.2018 Reflection 28BH

Inverter recommendations
We run the Magnum 3000 watt (3999 peak) “Hybrid” inverter which has load balancing. This allows us to driveway surf at friends with their 15 amp circuit and we can still run our roof air because it will pull any extra power from the batteries or generator. It was $1700, and runs everything in our Reflection including the electric hot water heater. I had that included so that if we’re boondocking and we run out of propane we still have hot water.
Also have the frig wired through it so during the day when our solar is pulling in 70 amps or so we run the frig on ac to conserve LP (frig pulls 30a).
