We have the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter, # A10-3050EDBK that lets you convert your RV's 50-amp power plug to work with a 30-amp electrical hookup. The Firman 3,300-Watt Inverter Generator, # FIR54FR that you linked to has one 120V 30-amp TT-30R outlet and this Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter, # A10-3050EDBK will make direct connection to both the generator and your RV's 50 amp service. Clean and simple.

A second option will be to use the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter Plug for 50 Amp Female to 30 Amp Male, # A10-3050DAVP. This will allow use of your current 50 amp cord and is the most cost effective way to mate the generator to an RV with 50 amp service.

Each option accomplishes the same objective. One option is a lower price point but you need to use the heavier 50 amp cord, the other option while higher cost provides a solution with a lighter weight power cord.

Happy Camping!
