Hi,
It would be better to use a female outlet and plug in the shore power cord to the generator. That way it is impossible to have shore power and generator power at the same time.
A switch might accidentally be left in the wrong position. If you insist on a switch get one that switches all the wires and that has 3 positions.
A = shore
B = no power
C = generator
The plug is a much cheaper and simpler solution.

Then run the wire, which is like 30amp right, under the traler and up into the junction box. There ill have a shutoff swtich for it so i dont risk having shore power ruin the generator.
