How to Order the Right 220V MALE Plug?
I got this genny that is labeled Jin Dong on the side. It runs like a champ and no it is not for RVing. So it has a 220 outlet but I did not get a plug with it eons ago. I now want to run 220 off...

The plug is likely a standard plug.. You can look up NEMA plugs and recptacles
and get a chart.. Like this one
This is one way to do it... a good way in fact. Compare the pictures to the outlet.
(I did not see any "Twist lock" outlets in that chart though, most generators the 240 volt outlet is a twist lock).
Another is to take a ruler, lay it under the outlet and snap a photo using your smart phone.. Take same ruler to hardware/electrical store and match the pattern. NOTE you need to mentally reverse the photo (or you can flip it if you know how to do that) to pattern match,, I just do it mentally.
In fact this is how I do it when I go plug shopping.
