I have an on-board genset, but don't like to run it overnight due to CO concerns. I have a Genturi, but still don't like having an internal combustion engine running underneath where I will be sleeping....just doesn't compute in my head as being safe, no matter what device is connected to it.
I have the standard RV 4-blade 50amp plug on my rig that normally supplies power when plugged in. On that plug, I understand that there are 2 120VAC hot leads, one ground and one neutral.

So, again, do I tie the neutral and ground together from the 50amp plug to the single ground blade on the 30amp twist lock, and run the separate hot leads (one each) to each of the other blades on the 30amp twist lock plug?
In other words, I need to make this:
