HUH? You telling me the Onan Genset that is onboard my RV will smoke everything? Tell ya what, if my factory installed generator will smoke everything, then it should have already done that 15 years ago.
Thanks for the help guys...
No, what I believe he is saying is that no RV generator produces 220 volts. Your entire RV runs on 120 volts. Even 50 amp Rvs run on 120 volts. Their have been persons on this forum that have supplied their RV with 220 volts by mistake, and cooked everything that was hooked up at the time. They are really trying to help you.
YOU said a 220 volt genny, I "assumed" from reading the rest of it that you had picked up a construction site genny that outputs 220 volts.
Your signature indicates a travel trailer, they don't have onboard genny's.
And Onan RV gensets DO NOT output 220 volts.
And 50 amp RV connections require a 4 pole plug.
Sorry for trying to help you, I'll be sure to never do it again.
And thanks Wildman!
