Hi,
WIth a magnafying glass, you can find a model number of all the plugs on your generator. Lest ssay that you find one that says 14L. This will mean something to us.
The normal 15 amp receptacles, like your house are not our concern, you will want to find a receptacle with either 3 or 4 prong on it, then read the number printed into the side of the receptical
Then you fo to the hardware store and buy a 14L P(plug) it will plug into a 14L R(receptical). Camping World sells a short cord with a plug in the end that you can plug into with the factory installed RV cord.
If you have a 50 amp power cord, and the plug on the generator is 4 prongs, then you are in luck. The plug you buy at home Depot or Lowes will have a green screw for the cround, a silver screw for the white wire, and two brass screws. Put the red or black on those brass terminals. It is all color coded, so easy - really easy.
If you have a 30 amp cord, and a 4 wire generator, then use the green ground, white netural, and either of the brass screws, it will work fine.
If you have a 50 amp cord with 4 wires and only a 3 wire generator cord, you can do two things. If you already have a 50 to 30 adapter, then wire up a 30 amp receptacle end to the plug on the generator (3 wires to 3 wires) and then plug your RV into the 50 amp end of the adapter, then the 30 amp end into your new adapter, then that into the generator.
Or (3 wire generator plug and 4 wire 50 amp RV) you could wire both the red and black to one brass terminal, the white to the silver screw, the green always goes to the ground wire.
That will do it.
If you need it all explained again, I am more than happy to help, but you will need to send me a Private Message, I will not revisit this topic..
What problem are you having with the antenna? You can get two answers for the same price here.
If you are wondering if it will work well with your new HD receiver, yes it will. The new digital channels are bascially on channels 14 - 69 of the old UHF frequencies, and the antenna will still pick up those signals.
If you are wondering why your 10 year old TV set is not picking up any signals anymore, it is because it only receives analog signals, and they are not being transmitted in the US anymore, you can still buy a digital to analog converter, it works fine. In my low signal area, I found I could get better reception if I used a good digital converter, then tuned my HD ready TV to channel #3, it picked up some more weak stations that way.
