Generator

Originally posted by furpod Just use a 20A to 30A puck adapter. It's a 2400 watt genny, it's only going to make 20A peak anyways. 2400w / 120v = 20AIt only has 1 ac circuit.

What he said.

You can get the adapters at Walmart, also.

I made up my own 20 amp cord from a 10ga. 25' extension cord. I cut off the "female" end and installed the appropriate NEMA 30 amp twist lock plug (the end that plugs into the camper). I use it at home for every day charging on a 20 amp circuit and take it with me when I plan to use the generator. The 30 amp OEM cord just gets used when a 30 amp pedestal is available.

I agree with Charlie, my adapters will get warm if much current is passed thru them.

Originally posted by Happy Tripping In the Yamaha link, what is the significance of "does NOT have a 30 amp electrical receptacle" ? Does it just mean we need an adapter??

Yes, you just need an adapter.

Something like this.  Adapter.

That works

Originally posted by TheBum Yes. Ideally, you should have one that plugs into both outlets on the generator because those are typically only rated to 15A each.

  Caution here! The two 115V receptacles are not necessarily "in phase". In non Geek speak that means they cannot be paralleled. If so and you do there will be lightening, noise, smoke, fire, and a dead generator.  
Best to check with a voltmeter first.
