I have the 50amp RV female to 30amp three blade adapter, but I need to plug into a Honda generator which only has the 3-blade twist lock. I can get the plugs and wire through a local supply house, but the direct, pre-made adapter is not locally available. Soooo.......
When making the adapter, do I tie the neutral and ground together and run the two separate hots to the other two blades? Sounds right in my head, but I guess I need supporting feedback....
Thanks!!
Is your generator 220V or 110? Look at http://www.nooutage.com/adapt.htm and see if you can identify your plug from the drawing.
