The transfer switches that we currently offer are either rated for 30 amp or 50 amp service and can't function properly if wired to a different amperage rating. For example, if your motorhome had 50 amp service and you installed the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS and then wired a 30 amp generator to it, it wouldn't sense the generator since it's not putting out 50 amps for it to kick the switch over. The only option would be to plug the shore power cord into the generator using an adapter.
