Using camper generator to power items in house
With all of the storms and flooding that is happening, is there a simple way to use the generator in my toy hauler (Onan 5500) to power certain items in my house if electricity goes off.

Guess there in no such thing as a plugin auto transfer switch?
Yes, I posted about one earlier:
"I had a Generlink installed at my house. Not the cheapest thing to do, but about as idiot proof as you are ever going to get with electricity, and recommended by the electric company for generators - needs to be installed by an electrician to conform to code (as far as I know). It basically plugs into your electric meter. It is a fancy shut off switch with a generator socket. When there is a power outage, the Generlink isolates the house from street power. You plug in your generator, start it up, and you are running off the generator. When street power comes back on, Generlink stops it from feeding your house until you shut down your generator and unplug. Then you are back to normal street power.
