The Companion is no different other than having THE WRONG 30-amp plug mounted on it and it costs $100 more.
The Companion's 30 amp receptacle is only "wrong" for RV use but it's not sold solely for use by RVrs, rather it's intended to be used as a general purpose portable generator by anyone for a variety of purposes and as such the Companion's 30 amp twist lock receptacle is entirely correct. For dedicated RV use there's not really any advantage to buying a Companion as it's 30 amp twist lock receptacle has to be converted to a TT-30 receptacle anyway.
