Why some are so polarized over this issue is a mystery. :h Who cares? Both approaches achieve the same results - 2 standard EU2200i gensets with a parallel kit that terminates with a TT-30 RV receptacle OR 1 standard EU2200i paralleled to a Companion EU2200i that has a 30 twist lock receptacle that has to be adapted out to a TT-30 anyway for RV use. The downside to the latter is that when it eventually comes time to sell that Companion you'll be trying to sell a genset with a 30 amp receptacle that on it's own can't deliver anywhere near 30 amps. :S
