I just bought a Honda EU2000i gererator, and have a question about connecting it directly to my camper. Is it as simple as finding the right adapter that has a standard 110V "household male connector" (for the generator side) and a 30A plug on the other end for the camper side? I do realize that I will only be bringing in 20A to the camper, and will have limited amount of power to run things...but is it as simple as that? Or am I missing something?

Walmart sells a very cheap 15/30 Amp adapter. Poorly made, tends to get HOT, even when pulling under 15 Amps.

I'd recommend getting a good 20/30 Amp adapter, like the one available at Camping World: Link.

Much better made, and doesn't get hot.

A word of advise,have generator running before plugging in youre power cord.And always unplug power cord before shutting generator off,by doing so you will not blow any fuses,you made a good choice. Happy camping.
