@Gavin's Garage what if we simply cut off the extra metal point in the middle? Since is has no contacts and serves no other purpose than stabilization that should make it work in the rv afterwards right?
Question: If I use a 4-prong 30 amp (L14-30P male) to 50 amp (14-50R) adapter to run a 50 amp RV with a 30 amp 120/240v 7000 running watts Generator....Does the power on the 50 amp side will be splitted even between the 2 legs as to have 3,500 running watts each?
@@GeneratorReviews then....theoretically if I put a slow start switch on each A/C ..I will be able to use both A/C with the 7,000 running watts generator? Then....final question....Everytime each A/C compressor starts during usage it will peak the same normal watts required or they will keep starting slow ?
I’ve got a question is it safe to bridge or tie 2 30 amp 4prong inlet box together. One inlet box outside, one box inside the inlet box outside will obviously be use for the gas generator and the inside inlet box will serve two purposes. for the transfer switch when solar power station is drained. And for the rainy cloudy days to charge up solar power station, using the special adapter not simultaneously, but when needed. I hope you understand this question.
@@GeneratorReviews lol oh no I typed it wrong. 30 amp inlet (outside )to 30 amp “outlet” (inside ) I have a delta pros and double hub. And a transfer switch. If the pros are drained. I would like to use my gas generator to either run the transfer switch or charge the delta pros using an adapter
I have the rving pro 50amp inlet box and 25ft cable, it has the center pin for alignment. The problem that I have with this cord is that the angled generator plug does not insert far enough into the generator. The angled plug hits the front of the generator and does not go into the generator plug far enough.
So........why are the 2 cables not designed to be interchangeable? Is this just a marketing gimmick to force you to use a more expensive RV plug on your RV?
I guess that’s the plan behind every marketing team on earth is to get us to spend more money. So many people been buying the wrong one, I decided just to make this video explaining the differences, I hope it helps.
I know how you can use the home plug in your RV. Just drill a hole in the middle of the RV inlet. Make sure to have the power on so you'll know if you drilled too far. 🤣
Please do a complete comparison of all plugs and inlet boxes in the marketplace.
Name and types of male and female adapter
That’s a great idea. I can do all the ones I have the different variance of adapters.
If my adapter or cord has that center rod. Can I just cut it and use the cord on my RV?
Yes just pull it off
@@GeneratorReviews Thank you.
Gavin's, thank you for another awesome video 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
You’re welcome👍🏾👍🏾💯💯😊
Important to point out the voltages on these. Are they 120 or 220 volt hookups and why it's important to know?
They are 120/240v depending on what appliances you have connected

That’s what most people do. It works just fine.
@@GeneratorReviews Yup for anybody else, I just pulled the pin out with pliers and it works just fine for my RV.

You’ll have 3500 starting amps on each leg
thank you.....actually starting watts will be 4,250 per leg cause the generator is 8500 starting / 7000 running....

That is not safe, you’re going to have one live inlet box. Please don’t do that.

Great video. Again Gavin !
Thanks
What size barker you recommend to put in Panay box for 50 amp?
I would install a 50 amp breaker

The problem that I have with this cord is that the angled generator plug does not insert far enough into the generator.

I’m a 30 amp RVer and it good to know what up with 50 amp RVers
Amazing 👍
Thanks, Michael 👍🏾

The one with the pin is a California requirement. Just use cables without the pin. They work for either inlet box type.
I know how you can use the home plug in your RV. Just drill a hole in the middle of the RV inlet. Make sure to have the power on so you'll know if you drilled too far. 🤣
OMG 😱 🤣🤣🤣😅 how did I know one of you was going to say that?
Tom!!😅
Easier and safer: take some pliers and pull the center pin out
Cut off the point and you are done bro !!!!!
