"Shore Max - This selection ensures the inverter AC loads
receive the maximum current available from the utility or generator power.
Whenever the utility or generator is connected to the inverter (thru AC HOT
1), the current used to power the AC loads and to charge the batteries is
monitored. When the total current used to power the AC loads and charge
the batteries begins to approach the Shore Max setting, the current that was
used for charging the batteries will automatically be reduced
. This ensures
the AC loads have all the available current when needed
."

and...
"CAUTION: The Shore Max setting does not limit the current to the
inverter loads
. If the current from the loads on the output of the
inverter are greater than the circuit breaker rating on the incoming
AC source, you [still] may experience nuisance tripping on this breaker.
"

just to sum up - use the ShoreMax setting to limit the amount of amps that the CHARGER uses, not to limit the amount of AC amps from your other items being used in the coach. This allows you to reduce the amperages that the Charger uses in order to help NOT trip the outside shore power breaker, giving you the MOST amps for your other needs within the coach... though you still need to be aware of over reaching your total amps available.
Please see post #10 of this thread. The EMS takes care of this issue in my '16 Bounder.
If I am incorrect please reply back how it is working.
