This is a nice unit and working fine for me (I love the electric start) but ... you need to change the breaker for the RV outlet if you intend to pull the full 30 Amps. Both of the original breakers are rated at 12 Amps with one wired to the duplex outlets and the other wired to the RV outlet. When I commented on this unit earlier in this thread I hadn't run the AC for more than a few minutes. On a later visit I discovered that the breaker kept tripping after about 3 minutes with the AC on. I took the panel off and discovered the breaker rating problem.
The original breakers are thermal types and a 30 Amp drop-in replacement is avaliable from Jameco Electronics - PN 282597CM. I elected to replace mine with a 30 Amp magnetic type (Carlingswitch) and panel modifications were required for that one.
Now I can run everything at the same time. Very nice.
