Use RV Generator for Back-Up Power

[NY_Dutch]

I do not like those as they are too easy to damage and get past... I used a switch panel. This is not the one I used.. but close, VEVOR Manual Transfer Switch 50A Generator Transfer Switch Kit

I also left one light connected only to the main. (power restored indicator)

Have you ever actually looked at an installed manual interlock? They're not easily damaged unless deliberately done for who knows what purpose.

This I know but remember I started a thread some-people-are-just-stupid.

Some people are that stupid,

Why would someone deliberately destroy a simple lockout like this? Stupid or not?

Do not know but have seen photos where it was done.

I hate to read this kind of thread. Less than 2 days after reading it we have lost power. So I had to pull out the generator and fire it up. I have a 50 amp inlet on the side of the house and a 50 amp breaker in the panel. I have a lockout plate which was installed when the electrician upgrade my service.

What? You've never been tempted to destroy the lockout plate just for the fun of it???
