Generator for my 30 amp service
Howdy, all, from VERY wet southeast Texas! Although we survived Rita intact, we are now looking into the purchase of a generator for supplemental electrical service. I've reviewed a number of the threads on generators via the "search", but had some difficulty finding an answer to my question. If anyone is aware of a good thread for this, please point me in the right direction:
We have the Mountaineer 297RKS with 30 amp service. I would like to buy a stand-alone generator (I'm currently looking at the larger "cheap" ones at Pep Boys) to run the A/C, frige and TV as we lose power. Unfortunately, all of the units I'm seeing (3000-6000 watts) have a couple of 120v/15amp plugs and a 240v plug (4-prong circular if I remember correctly). Is anyone aware of a generator that has a 110v 30amp outlet that will match my rig's power cable. If that is not available, what is the next easiest solution to get appropriate power to the rig?
If possible, I'd like to avoid any hard-wiring as the unit is still under warranty, and we don't expect to use the generator more than a couple of times a year. If a straightforward adaptor is available that will allow me to use the 240v output and convert it down to 120v 30amp (or the like), that would be fine with me, too.
Thanks for any insight!!!
