I unplug by turning off the breaker at the pedestal, and the Inverter automatically takes over and runs the whole coach. I would tend to believe what your manual says.
If I recall correctly, the Magnum inverter/charger you have (very nice unit), has circuitry included that will understand when the rig is plugged into shore or generator power vs unplugged and operate accordingly. The tech the OP worked with, I suspect was likely referring to the more basic and perhaps older models which were inverters only and in order to remain on when plugged into shore power, would require a relay to be wired between the inverter and the rigs power or for the converter to be switched off to prevent a conflict.
