Hi, wondering if someone can recommend the manufacturer of a pigtail that will connect the Honda EU2000i 30 amp female outlet to the rpod's 30 amp male twist lock plug. I think this Honda generator has a twist lock female 30 amp plug.

You don't connect to the connection on the side of the pod. You use an adapter on the plug in end of the pods power cord.

Adapter

You asked about a 2000i. Are you using a 2000i Companion? If so, that adapter above will work fine, but there is this option..

Optional Companion Adapter


Or 2 2000i's, a standard and a companion, tethered? If that is the situation, you need the companion adapter kit that includes the crossover cables and plug.

It seems unlikely that a 2000w generator would have a 30A outlet, but regardless, you should be able to find what you need on Amazon or at Walmart or Camping World, etc.  Like Furpod said, the adapter should plug into the generator and the pod power cord should plug into the adapter.  The one he linked to should be exactly what you need.

The EU2000i Companion has a marine 30A socket. Of course, the only way you'll actually get 30A out of it is if you're running a second generator in parallel, which can be a regular EU2000i. This is the adapter we use:
