Running roof ac while driving
I'm preparing to make a long trip and buying a travel trailer. It will be something a bit older like early 2000s and around 24ftish. I'd like to be able to have my dogs ride in the trailer while trave...

A transfer switch would be desirable with a built in generator but hardly needed in this case.
While I do agree an ats is more needed for a built in genny I do wonder if all the junction boxes and extra plugs would end up costing just as much as an ats. They're around 70 on amazon furrion brand. Seems like I saw that name somewhere on here. Even if it does cost more I like having a clean looking install. Plus some of the campers I've looked at have the power cords the pull out instead of plugging in. The one I was going to buy ended up being a real pos so I'm still searching.
austinjenna, it kinda sounds like you run a setup like what I'm trying to make. If so do you do anything to keep the genny out of the rain and such or just leave it be. Once parked I'll put a tarp over it since it won't be running but while driving I worry about rain messing with the electrical and it seems like a cover would get too hot and cause it to overheat.
