if your onan is wired direct into a breaker box on trailer,but you want to plug power from your shop into trailer to run lights and ac.is it as simple as wiring in a pigtail into breaker box for ext cord to plug into?and if you do this does it hurt the genset being shop power source would go back to genst even though it's not running.motorhomes have a long cord for trailer park hookups,but is there a switch that disconnects genset when you use it that way?
