3000W Chinese Gensets Info.

Yes... extension cords are a option. However, I do need 240V to my well pump... and pretty much have concluded that I can't run my well pump and most other things I need during a power outage all at the same time from the 3500 Watt generator. So, I would at least need a 25 foot(preferably 40 foot or more), 4 wire extension cord with a L14-30 type connectors on both ends, I'd have to wire my well pump up to a outlet that had the same type connector/box. I'd also need a adapter that took that L14-30 connector to a 120 volt layout for all my other stuff... Add all that up and I'm probably looking at around $150 minimum... and then I still have to be monkeying around plugging and unplugging things in the dark, etc... I'm leaning toward paying a bit more money and trying to come up with something that requires less manual work... like maybe only flipping a switch or two rather then swapping out extension cord adapters and such.
