Yes the genny is 120 / 120. 30 amp breaker each leg. No 240 volt.
From the breaker panel hot to one side other hot to other breakers and would share the neutral.
I have a 50 amp receptacle at the gen in the back of trailer.
From the front at my so called breaker panel runs to the back long shore cord 50 amp plug on it . Can pull it to pedestal or plug into the genny receptacle. If you folks don't see a problem with that manual plug in system I don't either.
I've got two problems the breaker panels and all that wiring needs straightened out ac and dc.
The other problem is when I bought the trailer it had a 30 amp gen that went out so I got the 7 k genny. We'll I figured 30 amp 3 wire hot , neutral , gr shore cord I Gould use 4 wire number ten hot , hot , neutral , gr. now I have found since its 120 volt only the number ten neutral cannot carry both legs for 120 volt only. If it were 120/240 it would work. So now from what I'm reading I need 4 wire number 6 so it can carry both legs if your running over 30 amps.
I've learned a lot here in last couple of yrs but have so far to go.
