Got 2 honda eu2200 generators. When i pair them and plug in my camper (120v) to the 30amp serve it blows the camper main fuse. Now one eu2200 has 2 ,, 20 amp outlets and the other has 1,,20 amp outlet and one 30 amp outlet. Now im using a adapter to go from the 30 amp service to the 30 amp service on the camper. If i take the camper wire and plug it into the other generator with the two 20 amp outlets alls good. Yes the left and right cables and grounds are hooked up right.

You need on EU2200i (companion) and one EU2200 don't you?

Adapter is a twist lock, Correct?Tripping of the RV breaker would indicate a problem in the rig.Does the rig work when using shore power to a commercial 30 amp receptacle?Make and model of rig?

Yes the left and right cables and grounds are hooked up right.Is it really blowing a fuse or is it tripping the EMS? Did you try bonding the ground+neutral? Have you ever used that adapter before? Maybe it's miswired and tripping the EMS?If it's really tripping a fuse or circuit breaker in the RV, I can't think of any reason for that, I'd measure the 30A output to make sure it's really 120V.

Turn off all brnch breakers, then try it!

You can pair darn near anything in the Honda line.

Ok, but why then the ‘companion’??

The Companion model has a twist lock 30 amp (and BTW, there is nor fuse/breaker protecting it ! :( ). IMHO, this was a very silly thing for Honda to do, A TT-30 outlet would be more useful.

I think it's because it has the 30a outlet. But I've never paid that close attention, so it's a bit of a guess. They want to sell you hardware you really don't need...if you can do your own.

First thing I would check would be the 30 amp adapter since it works when you plug the camper in to the 20 (15) amp receptacle. That is if you have a multimeter.

For now I would just use the fridge and water heater on propane so you don't need to pull as much through the smaller outlet.

For the record I have two EU2000i generators, no campanion.

If you plug into the companion generator (with the 30 or 20A receptacle), but without the generators paralleled, does that work?

Try just that generator with the RV 30 to twist lock 30 then with the RV 30 to 20. Report back.

Is this a Honda paralell kit? Honda companions have a 30 amp twist lock receptacle.
Early kits had a separate box for the 30 amp receptacles, later the EU2000 companion has the 30 amp twist lock.
What type of shore power cable does the rig have?
Something could be miss wired.

First poor cell to no cell at camp ground. So my response time will be poor cuz I have to leave the campground. With the other 4000 old generator or just plugging it into a 20 amp house outlet with adapter it works fine. Alls off in camper. Yes its popping a breaker. I have adapter that goes into the 30 amp outlet that brings it down to a standard 20-amp plug plugging into that in pops. Pupping it into the othe generator with the 2 20amp outlets it work fine. I see nothing on the companion adapter cords to lock them in
