- This is the only 3000 watt Coleman that I find. Does it look like yours? There should be an ID plate on your unit.
Coleman genset
Note that this unit has a 30 amp 120/240 four wire twist lock receptacle. - CdaddyExplorerI can't find anything like that if someone can post a link it would be awesome
- Did you find the model number, so you can post it?

Most smaller Generators do not come with 30 amp.
IF it has a standard DUPLEX receptical, like the ones in your house and if both slots are the same (Measure voltages should be zero top to bottom all 3 same slots, 120 side to side and the neutral (round hole) may or may not be connected.
There is a adapter.. I don't have the link to it handy but it is a plastic block with a 30 amp RV type outlet and two 15 amp "plugs" properly spaced on the other side.. Fits the duplex outlet and provides a bit less voltage drop.
Thanks I'll look for that - Sam_SpadeExplorer

Can I just use my adaptor and be able to draw enough power out of the standard outlet to run our TT air-conditioning.
Can't say without knowing how much your A/C draws; both the "run" value and "startup". In addition, you need to add in those things that will be running most or all the time .....like the converter/charger and TV. - wa8yxmExplorer IIIMost smaller Generators do not come with 30 amp.

Camco 55272 for example - mydazeoffExplorerMy Honda 3000 doesn't have a 30A plug. You need an adapter for your rv plug. My air conditioner takes 16A to kick in then drops downs to 9A.
- ScottGNomadYes, and adapter is fine and that's what most of us with inverter gens use.
