You might run into a few complaints in an RV park about your generator running so I would suggest you pick your run time accordingly and consult with the park operator too.

What can fail inside an ATS? And, if there is a failure in the ATS, could you then damage something while running a generator while hooked up to shore power?

I leave our rig plugged in to shore power when exercising the generator, but I reduce all heavy loads before the switchover (washer/dryer, AC, heat pump, heaters, etc)
