The Companion version is no different electrically than the standard model and only has a standard 30 amp twist lock receptacle as a matter of convenience when paralleled to a standard model. The reason it doesn't have a TT-30 receptacle is that these gensets aren't sold solely to the RV market but for all sorts of different uses where a 30 amp twist lock is the standard configuration. Whether you buy one standard model and a Companion OR two standard models is entirely up to you ... personally I'd go with two standard models so they can be used alternately, with no adaptation, when both in parallel aren't required.
