We run our genny in the bed of the TV while rolling down the road. To accomplish this we;
1- Added a genny cord outlet to the front of the TT. Its the kind with the big screw on washer to hold the connection in place
2- Installed a rotary switch. This allows the TT to be powered by the shore power OR the genny but never both at the same time. In the genny position there is no power to the shore power cord. The rotary switch also allows the genny to bypass the hard wired surge protector which is attached to the shore power.
3- Since the 12v system is separate from the 12v system, there is no problem with the TV or the TT while driving down the road.
4- A genny box keeps the genny secure in the bed of the TV
5- The cord between the genny and the TT is held in place to keep it from eventually dragging on the road.
