Scott I can't remember if I confirmed my transfer switch is rated for 50a or not, I guess I will have to pull two screws and remove the panel to confirm. I think I checked when I installed the Progressive Industries surge protector.

Where my wiring was melting is in the storage area where the generator wiring and 10awg house wire meet in a metal junction box. I am curious if anyone else's unit is wired with the 10awg. I am pretty sure that the 50a shore power has bigger AWG sized wire where I tapped into my Surge protector. I decided not to run my generator through the protector after talking to the surge protector manufacturer.
