Default Help please...thx you!

hello... i have a 6x10 mobile shed for shave ice business, and i am connecting a (small) AC unit, 5 cubic freezer, small water pump (for fresh water tank), ice shaving machine, interior lights, 6+ gallon water heater... My friend has the same unit with all the same equipment running to a breaker box that runs everything to a generator...but he also is able to run a three prung 30 amp 120v rv cord to a building to run everything if he doesn't have his generator with him from time to time... My question is how does he have all of his equipment wired at the breaker box so he is able to run his equipment from a cord to a building if he doesn't have his generator with him to run his equipment? How is all six pieces of equipment wired to breaker box then from there how can he run one cord if need be to a building/outlet and run everything without blowing a fuse or fuses? Can someone help please! Is there a drawing or diagram/schematic? hope you understand my question? thanks Adrien

Sounds like he just unplugs the generator from its input at the shack, plugs a cord into the same location the generator was connected, drags the other end to a connecting point of some kind at the building and plugs into utility power. Seems simple enough, maybe I didn't understand the question?

I think this is a DIY question…

True, it wouldn't be the right way to do it. My post above was just an attempt to translate into English.
