Another note. I'm not too concerned about the #10 wiring from my generator (although I will keep an eye on it). The Onan is de-rated 3.5% for each 1000' above sea level. My house is at 7400' and camping is usually at higher altitudes. At 7500' the 5500kw Onan will only produce about 4kw or 33A @ 120V. #10 wire is rated for 40A.

I'm still more concerned about the #10 shore power wiring.
