i always advise unpluging shore power before starting generator
physically disconnecting, means no loads will be switched, no arcing on the transfer relay contacts, and no problems, should the contacts stick and not switch correctly
i always unplug shore power before using the onboard Onan generator
If i use a portable, (uses less fuel) then the shore cord is plugged into the portable
