Manual Switch for Sub Panel for backup power

[SSNutz]

Has any install a manual switch (single load) to a sub panel last is powered by Truck's ProPower 24o outlet? Thinking to have a Generac 6333(60 A) install between main panel 60 A breaker and sub panel. See attached pic for wire diagram. Has this worked or any concerns (sub panel has N and G separate)?

Sorry for double posting the diagram. Need to learn editing.

I don't think that transfer switch switches the neutral. The truck will see the neutral-ground bond at the main panel as a ground fault and will not supply power. The Lightning is picky about this and needs a transfer switch that also switches the neutral.

And then some inspectors will complain about where does the ground come from in that situation, since the truck is then the bonding point but does not have its own ground rod. Lots of threads about this.

There are a few ways to make it work but I'm not sure what the "best" way is to be as safe as possible.
