Generator question

Question

I am camped at the lake and it is 110 outside. My Onan generator quit working so I have my Champion 9000 Watt generator as a backup. The generator has a LR 14-30 R 120 / 240, twist lock outlet. I have a dog bone that goes from that to 50 amp RV four pin. Can I safely plug my RV into that outlet?

I'd put a meter on it before I connected the RV. It could be a really *ouch* expensive situation.

I did.  I have 120 between both hots and ground and 120 between both hots and neutral.  My PD EMS says open ground. Was hoping for someone thay has done this.

yes it will work.Open ground I assume the gen has a floating neutral.Unplug the PD EMS.Either thats or if its harde wired youll need to make a bonding plug, and plug it into one of the outlets of the gen.
