ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BATTERIES DON'T GET DISCONNECTED WHEN USING THE 120 VOLT HOOK UP AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ON DISCONNECTING EACH SYSTEM IT WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT A LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT SWITCH ON ONE POLE DOESN'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMMON STILL DRAWS TO THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES AN OVER CURRENT THROUGH THE GROUND AND CAUSES A FIRE.
