OP does not appear to have a transfer switch. He must plug the shore power cord into receptacle to connect genset to rig. That is what photo indicates to me
Correct... In fact when I was inspecting the RV, we got the genset started and still had no 110v inside. The seller called Coachmen and they reminded him he had to plug the shore power line into the genset receptacle.
The book says to start the genset first, then plug the cable in (to prevent damage) but that seems strange to me.
The genset receptacle is what makes stowing the cable so difficult, plus it's not real easy to plug the cable into it and it's orientated so the top of the plug is pointed out (cable towards middle of RV) so you have to stuff the cable in to line the plug up with the receptacle.
Reading all of the comments here makes me happy that I'm not the only one this bothers. I WILL figure out some easier way to deal with this.
