Due to code and common sense not having a hot male

Only other option is to leave the cord connected and coiled outside
Thanks for the Safety note.

I see references to hot male plugs all the time; but I don't honestly see how that is even possible? I know it is dangerous and why but all generators I have seen all have female receptacle if any at all. Therefore the power cords all must plug in the male side of cord directly into generator. The female side goes direct into switch panel.

With that said my configuration

Connecticut Electric 7500 watt Transfer Switch
Connecticut Electric Sub Panel

The Sub Panel is hard wired and encased to the Transfer Switch which is hard wired and encased to hose main breaker.

The Sub panel input is Recessed Male L14-30P that is enclosed. So the only way to feed power is to connect with a L14-30R female plug. I have used for almost 10 years now, with my portable 3500 generator.

So for me, all I need to do is have someone wire a L14-30R in my RV so I can simply just plug in my cord into the RV. That end of the cord will be L14 - 30P but NOT HOT UNTIL PLUGGED IN w/Genny running.

Hope this clarifies.

FWIw, I don't leave my cord connected. I roll it up from the sub panel.
