elite 1 No 110V power proves to be a wiring issue with my transfer switch

The second 30A receptacle also allows us to place the generators near the front of the trailer and further away from the rear sleeping area for noise purposes.

Of course, if you are using the generator(s) to run the Dometic turbojet air conditioner, you won't be able to hear the generators anyway. 🤣

Thanks guys.  I fully understand the concepts of both auto and manual A/B switching.  The advantages caused me to install a 200 Amp manual on my home electrical service so that I could easily power up my home from a generator.  Hence my hypothetical question about using a second 30 amp shore power connection for some owners that have critical medical needs.

I'll rephrase my 3/2/2023 10:03 question.

IF an owner has a critical need for electricity and they are connected to shore power, and they have a second input connection, could they use it as a back-up power source from a portable auto starting generator:

• As currently wired?  (I think not)
• By changing the wiring?  (I think so, but as a ME, I defer to the electrical SME's to respond)

If it is possible, this would be an option for OTT to consider.  Not that it would be used a lot, but it would be a great way to help some owners with special needs.

Unless I'm standing in the bathroom, I do not hear our generator that's sitting out on the tongue. We have a 3000 watt Yamaha EF3000iSEB that I bought in 2008 to accompany us in our travels in our then brand new Oliver Elite Hull #026. It now travels with us in Hull #050 and has been on every trip we've ever taken. It still runs flawlessly and will power everything in our current trailer.
