Hi Everyone
We recently experienced during a trip to national park that we cannot run generator during quite hours.
I have got a solar generator Jackery 1000 explorer to have my Refrigerator, fan and few lights running based on need.
Do you have any recommendation on how to connect it to the main panel and have one connection available from inside the RV so that I can just plug the solar generator to it whenever I need and keep it stored when not needed?
 
This is kind of tricky. You can plug your shore power cord directly into the Jackery (using an adapter), but unless you can disconnect the charger that's built into your converter (that's the box with the fuses & circuit breakers in your RV), the RV's electrical system will attempt to use the Jackery to charge the house batteries.

My MH has a Progressive Dynamics converter and there's no way to disconnect its charging circuit and still use 12 V power inside the RV. :(
