Looking for suggestions on where to tap in... At Genny? At entrance to transfer switch? Other? Where to mount outlet? Anything else to be aware of...

Thanks!!

Didn't many older motorhomes have a female plug right at generator? In those cases it was used in lieu of a transfer switch, which was inconvenient because it required connecting and disconnecting frequently. I've used that kind of setup quite a few times.

In your case if you're only looking to power your house occassionally, perhaps a manual plug in a similar manner might work simply.

Wiring would need to be a little different because I'm assuming you'd want to keep the MH powered during hurricane.
