Lots of misinformation here. Split phase is used to identify 120/240V power. The QD 8000 is not 120/240V but rather 2 120V circuits. This means each hot line will carry 4000/120 = 33A and the neutral will carry the combined current of 66A. You may need to replace the wiring from the gen to the ATS and then to the CB panel. And you will need to upgrade the ATS to one that will handle the increased neutral amps.
There are no ATS upgrades for RVs. They already handle the full common neutral load from the pedestal split phase system, and the generator produces far less than that, even if it is not split phase. RV ATS are standard units designed for a 50A service or 30A service. The size of the generator has no impact on the ATS, or the size of wire to the CB, unless the generator is going to exceed the pedestal service. It doesn't help to unravel misinformation with more misinformation.
