Well, having the genset in the truck bed, purchased another pair of 50A couplings from the dealer. (still will use the OEM 50A cable when on CG site power)I then ran a length of 6/3ga. wire from the plug in the rear of 5'er under the chassis through electrical conduit, and brought it out between the hitch and body. The gen set is only a 30a on each leg, which is large enough as I have no second ac unit, but can now be plugged in ( about 12' longer) than necessary, with the truck disconnected. Then, what I did, was wire my home site (120volt/20amp) 12 ga. wire into one of the hot wires on the new harness. I did run a 20a switch in series) and then also built a jumper wire that is connected to each leg of the 6/3 gen set end plug. That way, all the outlets can be hot, especially in the garage where I have improvised a 110 volt hoist to lift the loading ramp. I did fabricate a pvc cap to cover the 30 amp plug when this jumper is connected. Remove jumper when connecting to the gen set. What I planned was, to connect the home 20a cord into the 2000 watt power inverter if I wanted to power a small appliance (croc pot) while traveling down the road.
