I googled champion 3500 watt portable generator, and found that some have a L5-30R receptacle. This means buy a L5 30P (plug) and you have the adapter that pluges into the RV.

If this has 4 wires, hook it up to a stove type receptacle, if it has 3 wires hook it up to a standard RV 30 amp receptacle. Simple.

But ake sure your generator has a L5-30R receptical. it might be L14-20R or L14-30R, depending on it's design.
