Hurricane florida. I & several neighbors lost power. A few bought generators & hooked to breaker box. I just bought one too. Delivery soon. I also bought a dbl 30a dbl breaker to hook generator to breaker box. I have several feet if 8\3. However now im reading that there are issues with the neutral & ground. Generator needs floating neutral, not bonded, right? I have no sub panels. Ryobi model

Splice wire in the breaker panel or install a junction panel/box and splice there?
It’s not ideal but you can splice circuits inside of the panel.
