Generators For Rv
4000 watt generator for 30 amp 120v RV?
The factory cable on my travel trailer is 30amp 120v = 3600watt capacity. I'm considering purchasing a 4000w propane generator, but it has two 120v 15amp outlets. I tested my neighbor's 5500 watt generator using one of its 120v 15amp receptacles with my travel trailer (I bought a 15amp to 30amp adapter for $5 at WalMart) - but the AC kept tripping the generator fuse. What is my best option? Find a generator wired for 120v 30amps? Rewire the one I'm going to buy?
4000w will be over the capacity that your rv can handle, so you should step it down just a notch. The reason your ac kept setting off the breaker is because you didnt have enough amps for it to run on. What you need to look for is a 120v 30amp generator in the 3000-3600w range. Anything higher can and will fry some of the electronics inside the rv. My family owns a small deer camp and we have electrical outlets to run our campers on. when we initially put in the power the electrician accidently put us on the 220v line and we had to replace everything that was plugged in.
EDIT:
You can also contact a local rv dealership to see what they recommend and they might just have the perfect generator for you.

RV Generators Make the Wild Blue Yonder a Bit More Homey
Ah, the call of the wild blue yonder. What better way to heed the call than in a home on wheels? RV's have long been the transport of choice for travelers who really want to experience everything the world has to offer. Nevertheless, there are bound to be a few stories worth sharing not because of the magnificent vistas seen or great world-saving work done, but for the sheer ridiculousness of the experience. Don't worry, I would never set you up like that and not deliver. Luckily for you, and rather unluckily for me, I've had a good number of RV experiences to fit that bill.
One of the first trips I took in an RV where I had some semblance of responsibility other than choosing the television channel was to a park in eastern Montana. I went to go pick out the spot in the park where we were planning on staying for a week or so, and I found the most beautiful location. It was lined with trees, overlooking a beautiful valley, and really just epitomized the wonder of nature. We brought the RV over, and suddenly, the tree-lined edges were much closer together than they had been a few minutes earlier. The beautiful valley the space overlooked really only meant that we had to park the RV on the edge of a cliff, and all that wonder of nature stuff was no longer very magical. Three hours later, we finally got situated on the "scenic overlook" and started to make dinner. Well, we tried to start making dinner. Somehow we managed to overlook the fact that there was no electrical hookup in the park. Just about then, the RV started to teeter perilously on the cliff. Needless to say, I have not been allowed to choose a space again.
While there isn't much we could have done about the width of the space or the height of the cliff (that we managed to avoid falling off of, by the way), we definitely could have avoided the problem of no electricity. Little did we know at the time, RV generators are something that no recreational vehicle should ever be left without. Not only that, but backup or RV generators can be used in other situations as well, not just the RV. They can be used at jobsites, during camping trips, and especially at your home. Power outages are always inconvenient, but at least with a generator you will be able to keep your refrigerated and frozen food from spoiling, cook your meals, and run other necessary items. They're light and easy to handle, making them perfect for use in your RV (obviously), as well as anywhere else you need it.
So, as soon as we got home from that eventful trip, we started looking at rv generators. One of the first companies we looked at was Gen/Tran Corporation. They have been in business for almost thirty years, and are the United States largest manufacturer of generator transfer switches, which make generator use much safer and more convenient. They have installed over one million units, and the family-owned company has a reputation to be proud of. Champion Power Equipment is another trustworthy company whose specialty happens to be dependable, durable and affordable portable generators. You can't go wrong with a Champion, as we have discovered ourselves. It is a relatively new company, but it has more than earned its place at the top of the generator heap. They have never had to recall a generator and offer great customer service. Their rv generators have a built in auto-choke and auto-power flow, so if it is dark or cold or stormy like it often tends to be when you have need of a generator, all you have to do is push a button and your engine starts up. Coleman and Powermate generators are right up there with Champion and Gen/Tran. Forty years in business has led them to develop a strong reputation for quality and innovation for both professional and home-based products. Their generators are all tested at the highest standards, and are assembled using only the best components. The comprehensive service network ensures that if you ever need help, you will easily find it.
Learn from my (many) mistakes: don't try to park on a cliff, and don't go anywhere without an rv generator.
