There is something you may need to do differently in the wiring of your gas generator hookup but it should be minimal. There's a video on that for someone who used one of these switches with a ProPower hybrid F-150.

There's a video on that for someone who used one of these switches with a ProPower hybrid F-150.This makes a ton of sense and I can't believe I didn't think of this before. I think your question just saved me a few thousand dollars because I already have a manual transfer switch I hook up to my gas generator for the intermittent power outages. I don't need it to be automatic and my 6.5kW generator is more than enough to get me through with choices of what I want to run when the power is out. The rear 7.2kW should be enough to do what I want to do with a 240v plug.
That’s my plan for now. $10K is a lot for backup power. I can buy a lot of extension cords for that price.To get that full 9.6kW you'd need multiple cords. The 30 amp 240 gets you 7.4kW and the rest would have to come from the separate 120 outlet/circuit.
