your only going to be able to use (1) hot leg
max 23 amps at 120v

if you really need all 23 amps, and buying gas is not to be worried about, go ahead and use the genny, BUT be sure you get or make the correct adapter
only 3 wires, 1 white, 1 green, 1 black
do not use (2) hots and burn out TT applances such as the converter, the fridge , the TV , the water heater etc.. with 230v
