my first motorhome had a fail proof transfer switch. plugged 30 amp cord into gen set and could run generator on the move. in a campground, just unplugged cord from gen set and ran to campground post. cheap,easy,foolproof, best of both worlds.
only problem is if the campground electricity would go off in the middle of the night/rainstorm, one would have to go out and plug it into gen set. never happened to me.

That's the way mine worked, until it didn't.
The circuit breaker will not work in an RV. Shore power must have the neutral and ground separated. The circuit breaker style does not switch the neutral.
Mine works fine. 30 amps up front and 50 amps in the rear. The 30 amp breaker has a jumper that makes all circuits common.
