Ryobi 2200 generator questions
Hi anyone have experience with this generator?
The manual says you have to ground this generator by sticking a pole 8 feet into the ground!! Well I camp in places where you can't even get a tent stake in the ground, much less an 8' pole.
Plus I've never seen any other camper ground their generator.
And I can't imagine any campground owner being thrilled with me digging an 8' hole in their ground.
And as a single female camper not sure I even could.
Any experience with this.
Also, it doesn't have a 30 amp receptable, only the standard 115 V/20 amp. I have an adapter, but what if I decide to get another one and go parallel? I know other people have done it with these units and their campers. How are they hooking up their campers to the generators? I called the manufacturer and of course no help there.
Any ideas?
