No transfer switch needed for my setup. I ran my cord secured along the frame to the pinbox where I can plug it into the generator. At the other end is a 30amp weatherproof box also secured to the frame, basically even too where my 30 amp receptacle is on the side of my fiver.
Mine is a 30amp twist lock on the trailer so I just made a cord-maybe 3ft that goes from where I normally plug my trailer in to the weatherproof box and I have power.
When I get to the campground, turn off generator, unplug from the side of the fiver, drag out my normal power cord and plug into the pedestal.
It doesn't get much more simple than that.
