I will start by saying I am a retired power lineman my house is setup with the proper hookup for a generator a break before make connection so it doesn't back feed the power company.
My MH has a 7 KW generator. Has anyone setup their RV to feed their house legally. My house panel is setup and has been inspected. I just need to figure out the MH end.
To be honest I haven't looked at the MH to see what I need to do yet. With today's world I think I want to get this setup.
Unless your moho genny is 120/240, you'll only be able to power 120V loads.
Best way IMO is put a sub panel after the transfer switch on the house, with jsut the essential circuits, to prevent having to turn off all circuits that you can't or shouldn't run (but the flexibility to turn on say bedroom power sometimes and not others is nice if you manually flip individual breakers every time)
On the Moho, either run a separate line with disconnect and "main" breaker and sufficient plug to plug into, or if there is extra slot(s) on the moho 120V panel, can install a separate breaker to the house load plug and manually flip the unneeded moho breakers off.
