OK. Here is what I did to add an RV outlet to my PowerPro 3500 with selector switch. I used jpkiljan's (Thank you John) diagram. Took panel off. Removed plastic cover. Wired 10 ga black to hot (blue), Red to neutral (red) and green to ground. Ran my wires through same hole as existing wires. Located metal box on end with generator. Drilled holes and mounted. Terminated wires as diagram suggested. Used Grill paint to paint box black. Installed cover. Fired up genny. Will plug in pop-up tomorrow. No smoke or issues that I can see. Will follow up later. Sorry for the multiple pics. I couldn't figure out how to create a link for just these pics and not my others.
A big THANK YOU to jpkiljan and MrWizard.
Hooked up the genny with mods to my pop-up with 8000 btu window air and ran fine. Then hooked up my 30 ft trail lite with 13.5 btu air. Turned on just fan first. Then kicked in the A/C on low. After a few minutes turned to high for about 20 minutes. Knocked out the initial heat and then turned on low so it would cycle with less strain. Ran like a champ for 3 hours. Wife said it was too cold for her. And the neighbors were probably tired of hearing it. Mods cost about $10. This generator is on sale at Pep Boys for $249 (with $50 mail in). Great gen for the money. My next project will be to make a free standing exhaust tube out of PVC. I'll post pics of that when I get around to it. Thanks to anyone that supplied advice.
