I've not done this yet, but it is planned soon. I'm going to add a 240V outlet on the RV, near the generator.
Your 5500 Onan genny has a 240 output?
Mine only has a 120 volt output.
Upon researching this project, unfortunately it doesn't. It has two 120VAC circuits, but that doesn't create a 240VAC (L1 & L2) like a home setup.
I could add a 30A 120VAC outlet instead, and power up one leg of my house power. I may still do this, but it's far less desirable than what I had intended.
I already have a Yamaha EF2400iS that can accomplish this same task without modification. I also have a 7500W Champion dual fuel generator which will supply 240VAC to run all my dedicated circuits via the transfer switch.
For now, I'm going to put this RV project on a back burner.
