Exercise genny while on shore power?
New to on board generators. Parked for the winter with 50 amp service, and it's time to exercise the genny. Do I have to disconnect first? 2006 Bounder, Onan 5500, ATS

Now that is the stickler, the word should , if it doesn't , bad things could happen, that is why you unplug first
BINGO! Shore power should be the default. To be sure how much trouble is it to flip the breaker at the post, make sure the inverter is off, then start the genny? No risk of trying to backfeed anything that way.
