Relatives have a triple wide mobile, 200 amp mobile meter pedestal, that has three breaker slots.
Would this work? To use with a portable generator and interlock breakers, find a meter main combo that will take an interlock. Replace existing 200 amp meter
pedestal, interlock main to 50 amp 2 pole, inlet for 12 kw portable generator.
Any recommendations on meter main combo mfg?
 
In Wv Midwest meter mains are used a lot. They have 4 breaker slots with the feed through lugs off the 200amp main as well

On my house I ran my generator feed directly the the house main panel (sub panel) inside so I didn’t have to go outside to switch over to generator power with the interlock kit. (Generator has a key fob for remote start).
 
Maybe a meter-socket mounted transfer switch for a portable...if the local Utility allows the device

I will check with POCO. That is a simple soulution
