Back-powering 110V system while travelling..
I know that I can, and do, use my home generator by plugging the two outlets from the genny into house outlets that are powered by different busbars in the breaker box, (after shutting off the master)...

Back-feeding the wiring in your house can result in injury to or death of the linemen who are working to restore your power.

I did say "after shutting off the master". By that I mean I isolate my house from the rest of the power grid. The linemen are safe.
But if the cord comes out of the wall socket it is live. Bad idea.
