I got one heck of a deal on this generator from Craigslist. I paid $1,800 which is less than a new 3,000 watt model. So far, the generator works just like new. The seller claimed he was buying an RV with a built-in generator.
I can power pretty much everything I want to through the 30 amp 120 volt receptacle since it allows me to pull way more than 30 amps. The question is if it is really safe to pull 35 to 40 amps through a 30 amp receptacle? My shore power cord is 6 AWG because it is a 50 amp cord, but I have to use two adapters at the generator end.
It wouldn't make sense to buy a different generator. I'll just have to accept the fact that I may not be able to use all 5,500 watts. I still have more usable watts than an EU3000 or EF3000.
