Recommended Generator Kit and Power Adapter for 50 Amp RV System
Updated 10/24/2017 | Published 10/23/2017 >
Question:
I am looking at buying 2 Powerhouse Generators - model# 792220. These can be paralleled by way of item # 51123. My problem is that this is a NEMA 5-50 plug, not your conventional 4 prong 50 amp plug. Do you have an adaptor for this? I would need a female NEMA 5-50 to a male 4 prong 50 amp RV plug. Thanks

Unfortunately we do not carry the adapter you are looking for, but I do have another option for you.
My recommendation is to use a Power Grip RV Power Maximizer - 50 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male and 30 Amp Male # CAM55025 to get a generator to give you 45 amps to your 50 amp RV input. Most generators have this power ability and setup.
If your combination won't allow this, I recommend the A-iPower Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit - Senci Motor - Portable - Gas - 120V - 3,800 Watts # 289-SUA2000I-2. This system will allow you the portability and the parallel connection to power your system.
