Charging 50A 5er with Generator 30A Receptacle

Thank you everyone.

yes it will work just find
i did exactly that with my champ and the safari DP

You should be able to find a 30A-50A long Adapter from WALMART but can also be ordered from AMAZON.

This is a diagram what you need to pickup. The 30A side has MALE connectors and the 50A side has FEMALE connectors.

You can see in the diagram that the two hots are tied together so the 30A SERVICE will feed both of your 50A legs in your trailer.

Here is another diagram showing this example.


As stated above you will have to watch which high wattage appliances are being used at the same time as you only have a total of 30AMPS to use from the generator. If you try to use both air conditioners at same time it will trip the 30A GENERATOR BREAKER.

Good to go

The receptacle is a TT-30 and the 30A to 50A dog bone I have plugs into it.

Assuming the receptical on the Champion is a TT-30 yes.

If it is a twist lock with 3 "slots" then you need a Generator adapter"
If it is a Twist lock with 4 Slots. a different generator adapter.

You are thinking correctly. Consider solar. No plugging required.
