Is that a GP8000E? Comes with a four prong 30 amp 120/240v service and a few standard home outlets.
That 3 prong adapter will not work. Or generator is something else. Need 240v connector to get 8000 watts out of a generator on 30 amps.

yea lets clarify this a bit because this is misleading. That adapter will work just fine for 30amp 120v.
to get 30amps AT 240, you need a 7200 watt generator
a 7200 watt generator will put out 60A at 120V
so to be clear your 8k generator makes more then enough power
using the adapter will you allow you to use all 30 amps of 120v that your trailer needs.
yes your only running on one winding, but its not a big deal, you would still have 30 amps available on the other winding if you wanted to use the 15 amp receptacles or build a splitter box off the 240 twist lock.
