I have an outbuilding with no power installed. Can I install this, and have a 'standalone' off grid solution with ProPower 230v outlet? Thanks!

I know about the bonded neutral issue, just curious if I can basically be my own mini-grid and run lights, power tools, and loud heavy metal straight from the truck with this? Thanks in advance!

Yes, but you don’t need the transfer switch that you linked. A simple subpanel will work. Probably $30-ish. You will need to establish a grounding electrode system (ground rods).

Alternatively, you can simply plug into the truck.

If there’s no power to the building now what will you ”transfer”. If you just want to power the building from the truck all you need is a small breaker panel connected to a generator inlet.

100A is overkill, but you won’t find anything much cheaper.

Plus one of these.

Don’t tell anyone, but I’d be tempted to hard-wire the generator cord to the panel.

Awesome, thanks guys. Almost overspent, but makes total sense.
