Rather than use a dogbone adaptor to connect my 30 amp RV plug to the ELM3000, I purchased a 30 amp RV pigtail (used for repairing 30 amp cables) from Campers World and wired it directly to the unused terminals on the rear of the 110VAC recepticle. I attached the pigtail to the frame of the ELM3000. Now all I do is plug in the RV cable to the 30 amp plug. The regular 110VAC sockets are still available when not using the generator to provide power to the RV. Just remember it not use both the regular 110VAC plugs and the RV plug at the same time to prevent overloading the generator.

Is this method of attaching a 30amp rv pigtail safe.It makes sense to have a dedicated 30amp plug so the rv can be directly plugged into the genny.Is this procedure really as simple as accessing the back of the 110v outlet and attaching the pigtail??
When it comes to a project that sounds real easy it usually(in my case)isn't.This one seems to be a no brainer that everyone would want to do.
Any thoughts Prof95 or anyone else for that matter.
