I'm a rookie to the RV life, just bought a Crossroads HC32RL. I have a new in the box 3250 Watt Steele generator I bought a few years ago (pre- end of the world ;-) ) that has two 3 prong AC plugs but no RV plug. Is there an adapter made for this config?
Any opinions on this Steele unit? The RV has 2 A/C's, do you think it can handle that load?
Not sure what the wattage draw is of the RV A/C units but my guess is that the genny is too small to run both A/C units along with other things running in the RV. The two 3 prong outlets are probably tied to 20A C/B (s) so you will need an adapter (yes they make these) to plug in the RV but you will still be limited on what you have "on". A 20a plug will run the RV but not everything at once.
With 2 A/C's I assume you have a 50 amp trailer - there are many adapters available; we plug into a 15amp plug at storage so we go from 50 amp to 30 amp to a normal 110 outlet (only running the fridge).
For the generator as said before you should be able to run 1 A/C.
Yes these adapters are available many places, even Wal Mart, but you will be limited as to what you can run, definitely not both a/c at the same time...
You can use the adapter to plug into the genny, but it will not power even 1 ac unit. A 3250 genny not made for rv use has two separate legs of 120v power each operating at 1625 watts for a total of 3250 watts. 1625 is not enough to start the ac unit.

These can be wired together. You can also wire the 240 to split to two 120s if so equipped.
