Plugging in to the Generator?

duplex outlet will be limited to 15amps or 20amps, depending on the generator

a 2000w generator will be limited to about 13amps total output continuous run

a/c only, nothing else period,

for A/C most of us buy a 3000w generator or (2) 2000w inverter generators that can be synced together, those are specail and need to be (2) of the same thing

New to using a generator and while shopping I did notice that some, not many, come with a 30 amp connector that my RV would connect to but most have the standard duplex receptacles. Do I just plug in the the 110 with an adaptor to run the AC? THANKS

Don't buy one yet!!!! Find out more on here about the gen specs needed to run your AC loads. Gens are rated in VA not watts.

You need to know what the input VA is for the various appliances. A microwave might be called a 1000w but that is its output. It will want more like 1500w input. Toasters are straight watts in out though.

What appliances will you want to run and which ones all at the same time? Fridge plus converter, or can you go fridge on LP and the converter? What converter do you have? Air conditioning? Water heater? Hairdryer?

How many watt generator are you looking at?

Yes, but make sure it's a good quality adapter. An inexpensive "puck" might overheat where a dog-bone style adapter will hold up better.
