If 1 circuit draws 15 amps and the other draws 5 amps the neutral carries 10 amps.
If you power both legs from the same source (EG) and load 2 circuits that are sharing a neutral, the neutral will need to carry the combined amperage of the 2 circuits. Proceed with caution, you could overload (overheat) some house wiring.

yes, thought of that. BUT, the EG does a have CB on it and the power source is the common single outlet on the EG.
I look at it as running 2 extension cords from the EG to 2 separate sources.
each leg will have its own neutral.
running 2 plugs at EG, 2 12/2 SO chords to 2 separate CB's at the disconnect.
its only a 20amp EG. cant run much.
figure each refrigerator once or twice a day by itself.
TV at night
fan if needed for sleeping.
lights for going to bed or eating.
looks like it is headed my way but hopefully only a cat2.
not much I can do about the house but I can get the 930 out of town.
