Dometic Travel Power Generator & Shorepower connected into Quattro inputs?

Just installed a 5KW Dometic Travel Power (latest version) to a customers narrowboat who has a 48V 10000VA Victron Quattro. In the Travel Power manual it says to take care not to connect the travel power with a shorepower supply. Think this is because Travel Power output has earth fixed to 0V, Live 115V, Neutral opposite 115V so neutral can't be connected to the earth.

Wonder if anyone knows if shorepower and the travel power can be connected to the 2 inputs in the Quattro - and potentially have the travel power on while plugged into shore power? Really want to be sure and not damage the travel power..

Thanks, Ed

Sounds like a sketchy device, I'd first check if the thing is allowed to connect to 'normal' 230 VAC systems under local regulations.

a work-around could be an isolation transformer.
