Works great and SAVES TONS OF GAS...regardless of what others may believe. I say this from extensive experience, not theory. Seeing is believing.
Thanks I have 3 prong 30A RV female plug as well. If I follow; you are saying I can buy a 50A to 30A adapter? Then I can plug the 50A portion from my portable generator directly into RV's side inbound 50A service port. That would be simple enough. I was thinking that would be underpower the service in the internal RV and put me at risk of burning something up? if that is not an issue, I guess I could use the 50A to 30A adapter to connect to 30A shoreline service assuming 50A was not available.

What I like about this is that every month or so I struggle to find ways to use my portable generator. By connecting to RV, it would give me more opportunities to use portable generator more as I have had for years and it is easy to maintain.
