Please excuse me, if I shouldn't ask, as others have stated, too many pages to look thru, I'm on page 30 and this took reading until late several evenings. My question, I'm thoroughly confused,:? I (we) have this Generator that we bought last year off eBay, I bought it for RV use and winter ice storms, I hope we don't have, up until now, we haven't used it. The big picture in the description showed a 30amp RV plug and a standard 120 house type plug. Several small pictures showed two plugs with covers, I assumed one cover was over the 30amp plug, wrong, when I received the generator it had two 120v house type plugs. I didn't send it back because of the shipping cost.
We recently attended an Old Threshers Reunion, we took the generator because we were told all the electric outlets were taken, when we arrived an RV had just left and we had electricity. Okay, finally my question and confusion, to have 30 amps for our Trailer, I don't understand how the generator knows we need 30 amps if we use a dogbone adapter in one of the 15amp plugs.:h
I did see a picture that I bookmarked, that had two 20amp/120v household male plugs with a short piece of wire, and at the end was a RV 30amp female plug. Both plugs were in the generator and if I understood correctly that gave the 30amps the RV needs. I believe it was Prof's homemade dogbone.
Am I completely wrong in my understanding, I hope by now some of you that understand everything about electricity aren't laughing hysterically.:) Please explain so I can get some sleep, and use our generator. I do apologize, I know my question isn't in line, with what you're discussing now, but it's driving me crazy.:E I've searched and searched for an answer with no luck.
TIA DM
