Gone but not forgotten
I got my first camper, 33' bumper pull, park model. 2006 Fema type. Never been used. My camper plug doesn't match any receptacles on the generator. The tag on back says...''This connection for110/125 Volt AC 60 Hz 30 Ampere supply.'' break this down for me. What can i do or not do. I don't want to overload or underload and burn anything up. Does that mean I only need to plug into one of the smaller 110 outlets on the generator to run everything- A/C FRIDGE MICROWAVE LIGHTS? I bought an adaptor cause the camper has slanted studs and the generator is straight like a regular receptacle. I ran for 30 minutes and evrything was working- scared to do longer. OR..... I have a twistlock 120/240 volt 30 amp hookup on the generator. It has 4 slots whereas the camper male end has 2 flat studs n a ground. The only way I could hook that up would be to make a pigtail by getting a female end for the camper n a male end for the gen. and some romex. i would be losing one of the hot leg studs tho.????Hopefully the 110 hookup is all i need. btw the gen. is a 7000/10, 500n generator. The load capacity was in the upper 30 percentile on the screen with the ac lights and fridge on. Sorry for the confusing jibberish- electrical is my weakness.
