Electrical?

[J-Rooster]

I’m currently camping at the Palm Springs, Joshua Tree KOA. The power went out purposely today for 4 hours. There were workers, working on the underground power lines. My question is can I run my gen set without electricity back feeding into the lines where the workers are working. The temperature was 84* at 10 A.M. and I wanted to use my AC, but wasn’t sure if the electricity could feed back to them are not? Is there a switch in my RV that stops electricity from feeding back or do I have to turn the 50 amp breaker switch off?

Staying hooked to an RV park pedestal when it is off and under repair is not wise.

If the generator was properly installed it should have a transfer switch to isolate it from park power when the genny is running. But I would at least throw the park breaker, or even unplug, just in case.

You can just shut off the breaker or unplug from the pedestal but if your transfer switch is working properly you won't be feeding the grid from your genny.
