Need generator advice

[acatlover13]

We have a car hauler with a 50 amp male plug, and a Powerhouse 6500 Generator with a 30 amp 120V receptacle, and a 30 amp 120/240V receptacle. My question is:

What type of adapter do we need, and which of these receptacles should we be using??

[acatlover13]

OK...here's our trailer plug:



And here is our generator panel:

Well....we have an adaptor that goes straight from our 4 prong 50 amp into the 4 prong as you have shown above. But when we try to turn things on in the trailer, it won't power the A/C and then the generator shuts down. The red "overload" light comes on

Go to "my forums", then click on the preference tab, then check the box that allows you to see photos.

[SWD]

Yeah......you need to re-work some of your profile settings etc.

[acatlover13]

I can't see your image either--It says *image not shown due to your preference setting*

I must have a setting wrong in here...new to this forum

Just search for how to post pics and you'll find a good tutorial.

This end should plug into your genset then you get the dogbone that will go from this to your 50amp.

Would this work?

[acatlover13]

How do I post a photo?

[SWD]

OK my 30amp on my gen is a 3 prong unit not four.

[SWD]

acatlover13......your link will not work.

[acatlover13]

So we should use the four-prong receptacle??

[SWD]

You should use the 120/240 outlet and get an adapter chord (dogbone) that goes from 50amps to a 30 amp male plug.
