DuroMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit And Electric Start (CARB Compliant) Review
This generator does support 30A service for RV use. I did a lot of research before purchasing this one. Some competing brands imply that they are suitable for RV use, but actually are limited by 13A fuses, so that you can't draw more than that through a single plug. With the use of an L14-30 - TT30R pigtail adapter (e.g., [...] has one specifically for this brand), you can draw all output through the 120/240 L14 plug on the panel. In tests, I have put close to full rated 30A load with my RV through the single L14 plug using the adapter, with no problem. The generator handled the load easily. Its compact size (17"x17"x24" w/o wheel kit) and weight (120 lbs) means that it fits in the bed of my truck in front of my 5th wheel hitch for travel - and that I can put it there w/o help or popping a disc in my back! The oil fill plug is located on the front of the engine, giving me easy access. The oversized muffler eliminates most exhaust noise such that the engine operating noise is louder than the exhaust. Per the distributor, the cylinder has a cast iron sleeve, so it should last. Exactly what I was looking for.
You can find it a few bucks cheaper elsewhere, but I went with Amazon because of Amazon's reputation. Also, look at other sellers' return policies, as some only offer store credit on returns, and in addition charge you a restocking fee as well as for the "free" shipping, and return shipping, for returned or damaged items.
