Question:
Can I use the Flex Power 2200-watt generator to plug into my 30A hookup camper, or is it only for small electronics? I have a basic travel trailer and mostly want to keep the battery charged.

Hey Ryan! You can use the Flex Power 2,200-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # FP34FR with your 30a hookup as long as you connect it with the correct extension cord and RV adapter, like # CAM55223 or # A10-1530DBK.
The important thing to keep in mind is that the generator is still limited to 1,900 running watts, even if it is plugged into the RV’s shore power inlet. That makes it a good fit for battery charging, lights, TVs, small electronics, and lighter campsite loads. It is not going to turn your camper into a full 30-amp hookup, and you’ll want to be careful with high-draw items like an A/C, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, or hair dryer.
For keeping your battery charged and running the lighter side of your camper, Ryan, the # FP34FR makes a lot of sense. If you wanted, you could step up a bit to the 3,300w setup # FP54FR which has a built-in 30A hookup so you don't need an adapter. It just depends what all you're wanting to run.
What are the main things you want powered while you’re camping off-grid?
