Assuming the voltage drop from the generator head to the outlet is negligable, the advantage in camperdave's solution is that it eliminates the ability to overload the likely cheap 20amp outlets. Disadvantage is that it eliminates two of the outlets, but that is not an issue for me.
Bob's solution requires slightly more complicated wiring behind the panel, but allows the voltmeter to continue working along with all outlets.
I think when it is all said and done, I will probably stick with camperdave's gen-head rewire and a 30 amp breaker. I imagine with the new generators coming out, fewer people will be attempting rewires like mine... Picked mine up as a refurb for $99 at Checker, so I can't complain.
BTW, thanks to everyone for your inputs... This forum is great!
