But you make some valid points and I appreciate the feedback . I am waiting on one quote and then will make a decision. I am leaning towards being the QB and assist with planning and completion of the project . I talked with an electrician yesterday that could be my last piece of the puzzle .

Did you see that was in green?
Yes, put the gear in place and get fuel to it. Then get sparky to wire up what it will handle. That's the main thing, having things sorted out so you know what breakers to turn back on after the genset is up and running. Labels are very important even if you do an auto transfer switch. If you are saving money, skip that. Turn your breakers on as needed. Less turned on the longer it will run.
You also might want to run 120v back to the unit for a trouble light and a trickle charger. Someday you may need a battery charger out there. Always nice to have an outlet wherever there is equipment. It's a requirement for pool equip and A/C units inside and out.
