LPrice How do you like your new generator? I assume you bought it off of eBay right? I am looking at the same thing $300 plus shipping which shows to be $80 on their calculator. I notice the seller strongly recommends local pickup in Buffalo which is impossible for me, I guess they have had a lot of damaged ones due to shipping. I wonder which is safer UPS or FedEx? Did you have any damage to yours? I assume you buy an adaptor for the 4 prong 30 amp to a 3 prong RV type and plug it in there right? The 3000 I was looking at before did not have this plug, nor did it have the 12V outlet for charging batteries. Also does it have a switch to go from 115 to 230 VAC? Does anyone else have the new 3000L series? Thanks

Kevin,
I like the generator. Yes, I purchased it off of Ebay. The only damage experienced was to a plastic cover located behind the control panel. I called the company and they immediately sent a whole new control panel. The motor has shock absorbers on it and they figure that through shipping the motor bounced upward, making contact with the cover, which broke it. I made an adaptor, such as that shown by the professor, on page 9 of this thread. I purchased an RV outlet, 12 gauge wire, 2 male plugs, box, and cover at Lowes. Regarding the folks who work at the company that the generator was purchased from, they were very nice to talk to, answering all my questions.
