I just bought one of the PowerWise units from Costco. Looks pretty good for the money, especially since it includes the wheel and handle kit. Started up on the first pull, so I certainly can't complain about that. I still need to set it up so I can plug the RV 30amp plug into it.
That looks like a good item for this, but I just started to order one and found they want $15.33 to ship it to me!!! It only costs $10, and wouldn't cost anything to mail. I decided for that much money I can wire my own. The local hardware store has a female RV outlet, and I have an electrical box and cover, so I'm just going to mount it to the gen frame and hook the wires over to the back side of the regular 120v outlet.

My suggestion is you get a dual 15 to 30 amp adapter, plug it into your dual socket and it will electrically tie both sockets together(if not already done inside the generator) and provide you with an RV 30 amp socket with full power available. An online site to buy it is: www.rvsurplussalvage.com
