Connect 120v Gen to 50Amp ATS?
How is a 120v only generator connected to the gen input of an automatic transfer switch in a 50 amp coach? Is the hot lead from the 120v gen simply connected to (and shorted across) both the L1 and L...

Depepends on the generator but basically... YES
Now my ONAN is a 120 volt generator, but it has two 30 amp outputs. one goes to L-1, one to L-2 They are "in phase" though so I can not get 240 V out of it (Well I can but I cheat). According to "Sources" the unit can not be rewired for normal feed.
But one breaker goes to L-1, one to L-2 that simple.
Internal to the generator they are shorted together.
Others.. Well if I had a single 50 amp feed, then it would be shorted to L-1 L-2 as you describe.
