Thanks for the input.
As others have mentioned, the IC2000 has a 30 amp auto transfer switch and the only AC input would be through the shore power (30 amp) cable - either pedestal power or portable generator - I don't have (nor do I want) a hard mounted genny.
Long story short, power comes in on existing shore power connection (now disconnected from WFCO power centre and extended to GoPower Charger/Inverter), AC output line returns to power centre for distribution. Converter section in power centre to be deleted. On sensing AC power on the AC Input, the IC2000 delays and then switches relays to provide AC pass through otherwise the inverter is normally connected according to the literature. DC Out goes to the battery bank for charging and powering DC circuits (electrical connection already in place from previous factory install).
I won't be wiring it myself - I'm having a Red Seal RV Tech install it but I know how I want it to work which is the first step in asking someone else to install something that will work the way you want...
My original way is simpler and cheaper but this way will not cost me anything on resale - a MacGyver approach is likely to throw some buyers when and if we go to sell - and adds the benefit of an inverter for overnight phone charging or running a heating pad when boondocking without trying to do something ignorant like running a genny overnight.
