I have a power cord reel at the back of my 46’ toy hauler and a standard twist lock 50 amp receptacle at the front of my 46’ toy hauler. I use an adapter to go from the twist lock to standard NEMA receptacle and then have an 18’ 6 AWG 50 amp extension cord. The two plug ins run to an ATS in the trailer so only one can send power to the trailer at a time. This set up works well for me. I can use the front or rear plugs or add length to the rear cord real with the extension cord. It provides lots of options. So far this year, I have probably had to use the front plug about a 1/4 of the time at the places we have stayed since I got the trailer in June. I am happy to have the options for convenience sake. I currently am mooch docking on a family property and have a standard 12 AWG extension cord run to the front of the trailer from the garage on the property. I then have 15 to 30 and 30 to 50 dog bones connected to get a bit of power to the trailer at the front receptacle. As I said, it is nice to have options.
If I get an ATS which would you recommend. Goggled it and lots of them.

One function that is nice I can choice between solar, battery and shore power in any order I program into it.

Be careful about just splicing to have both as that will leave a hot plug on the unused end.
The rear is in a compartment with a spring loaded cover over it.

Well to wire up inverters I have to disconnect it anyways. Shore power goes to inverters first.

Yes, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FQMZS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like it because I could wall mount it in a small space and not have a large wall projection of a switch.Mainly to cut power to the lithium batteries so that they're not being constantly charged while idle.
That is a battery disconnect. Not what I was looking for. I used Blue Sea for my battery disconnect.

I was working in Denver area, Actually staying in Golden. It was winter time. The park provided a 100 pound tank for us. They filled it too. But I know most all propane suppliers will bring you a tank and keep it filled.

Ya'll done lot more traveling than us. Never been where midway wouldn't work. Not saying there aren't parks out there where it is needed. I could splice into it and have one at end and center. Likely easiest too.
-
My intention is midway. Right where water and sewer connections are. Be easy to get to also. I may just abandon that cable. It around $300.00 worth of cable though at today's price.

I tow with my HDT. It is roughly 30'. So I need to get Teton as far back as possible so truck can stay in front. I have on several cases had to park truck elsewhere or go buy an extension for my service. Don't really care for extensions. The midway location should work most places
-
My panel is midway. Actually in bathroom. could pull out the feed line and tie into it. But wanted to relocate it. Very inconvenient at rear of unit.
-
I don't have a transfer switch. Yours must have come with a generator or at least factory equip
-
My thoughts are relocating it. It at very back of my Teton. Bring it halfway. How well do you think Teton anchored it. Would like to pull line forward to inverters. Would save me right much money. Wire expensive now.
-
I hooked up the pv wires this evening. No sun and cloudy. No problem. Got battery disconnects mounted and wired. Hot line to one inverter. Supposed to rain again tomorrow
-
Thank you
-
Sounds like a good plan. Thanks
-
That is a lot of cover. The entire roof. I have done ac with no gloves just be careful not to touch ground. Be easy to do that with the pv wire. All 4 ends are tapped so I should be safe.
-
Do I need this for the solar? 250vdc at 10 amps. Or just unplug one end at panels and make connection at breakers?
-
Well your example can't happen. Not possible to plug anything into it. Basically all I have now is a disconnect switch.
-
Guys I was thinking wrong about the amps I got coming in. They are all in series so only 10 ish amps. Bought a 63 amp breakers. 30 amp would have been plenty. Should I change it.
