If you elect to go with a transfer switch, I'd recommend you study the attached video that shows installation of a Go Power TS-50 transfer switch. They go into quite a bit of detail at the end of the video about shutting the converter off while using an inverter as the power source. You can ignore that since you'll want your generator to be charging the batteries while it's running.

I'm Sorry ,I might not have Stated but my intent is to Travel with Generator In Bed Of Tow Vehicle .So that Able to have heat or A/C when finished Driving for the day as to getting a good night's rest.When Generator is in use Or Not it Would remain Secure in Bed. I Feel HardWiring it in is much Simpler and Secure. And When Having Shore Power Would just Use The Power Cord that came with unit new. Thanks John

Back to Howard’s earlier suggestion (post 4) . . . why not just plug your shore power cord into the generator in the truck bed when shore power is not available ? Everything will work as it should . . . to the limit of the generator capacity.
