My small RV came with a "locking" type 30 amp plug. This adapter allows me to use the more common 3 pin 30 amp "RV plug" extension cord, when needed. In the situations where this is needed, it is invaluable. It appears nicely made with moulded ends, tightly sealed to the cord. In use, it does not exhibit any heat build up with the normal loads of my RV (AC, microwave, etc.) If you have this kind of twist-lock end on your RV (or other device) and you need to connect to "RV" plug type sources of power, this will do it for you.

Kohler 20RESAL-SE 20,000-Watt Air-Cooled Standby Generator with 200 Amp Whole-House, Service Entrance Rated, Load Shedding Automatic Transfer Switch Review

For anyone interested, I just finished installing a Kohler 20kW 20RESA residential generator, matched with a Kohler RXT-JFNC-200ASE whole house automatic switch. I chose the Kohler unit because it has a composite noise dampening enclosure, 5 year warranty, Kohler onCue remote online monitoring (it emails and texts me), and basically is worry free except for annual maintenance.

I dug my trenches, and poured a 6" thick 3'x5' pad over 2" of gravel, about 3' from my house with the exhaust (left side) angled away from the house. It took 4 guys to help set the 530lb unit in place. Thankfully Kohler makes this easy, since there are two holes in the front and back to insert poles (I used spud bars) to make carrying it like a litter possible. It's heavy though. I bolted my unit to the concrete pad to prevent movement from vibration, and a little more security.

The Kohler RXT-jfnc-200ASE ATS switch is a whole house switch mounted externally. I used a local Kohler Authorized electrician for the electrical hookup. They ran the service line from the the electric meter straight to the ATS switch. Then from the ATS switch into the house. The generator of course hooked into the ATS to provide power, but also needed Belden 9402 for the control circuit. An additional 15A 115v circuit was run from the generator to the inside panel.. this was for the battery trickle charger and the carburetor heater. The last run was the low voltage shielded twisted pair Ethernet that went from the generator to my Ethernet switch inside. As mentioned, I picked up a carburetor heater, since I live in Ohio and it gets below 0F... and an Optima Sealed AGM group 51 starter battery. I bought the generator this summer when they offered free software, so I already had my activation key from Kohler.

I had a 250,000 BTU gas meter that Columbia Gas upsized to a 450,000 BTU meter and a local plumber ran a 1" gas line underground to a bracket mounted to the side of the pad. A regulator and shutoffs were placed at the meter and before and after the regulator. Kohler include 1' of flexible gas pipe that was installed on the outside of the generator before connecting into the gas run, this supposedly prevents vibration of the running unit from causing an issue with the gas line.

Initially my display screen wasn't working correctly, so I had a local Kohler dealer (Buckeye Power) stop by and they fixed the issued by upgrading the firmware from 4.7 to 4.9 I knew when they were done when the unit emailed me after the update.. The Kohler onCue software allows me to take a look at the generator diagnostics, battery charge, and even remotely execute a online or offline test exercise.

Great project and it's really unobtrusive... looks like a deck box more than a generator. Sounds like a car idling when running.. I'll add some landscaping around it to help muffle it when running...

UPDATE: 1 yr later...

Still a satisfied owner. Kohler now sells an annual maintenance kit which Amazon carries that makes it easy for homeowners - and costs less as a kit than buying the parts separately. Even if you dont replace the air filter every year, getting the kit the first time gives you the spare when its needed. I'll probably have the 800lb gorilla, buckeye power systems, com in and check the unit every other year -- but I'm proficient with small engine maintenance and with the onCue software, should be able to handle and oil change without too much duress.

Steele Products SP-GG200 2,000 Watt 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator Review

I purchased this generator to use for emergencies. Unfortunately, the only way it will start is to remove the air filter and spray "Quick Start" spray directly into the carburetor. I put gas and oil in it, followed the starting instructions- and it will not start. I can pull the cord all day long and this generator will NOT start without using starting spray. This happens at any temperature. Even if the generator has been running it won't restart without "Quick Start" spray.

The worst part is, there is a sticker on the generator saying it is "illegal" to take it back to the store once it has had gas in it. I feel like I have been had, I was sold a generator that won't start, then I'm told I can't take it in for a refund. What a joke.

Also, the generator is rated at 1400 watts continuous and 2000 peak. However it struggles to keep up with a 1000 watt demand and it will DIE if you try to give it even a 1400 peak. And after it dies you better have some Quick Start spray nearby. You could use this to power a couple of light bulbs, but it is useless to power tools or applicances. If you are looking for something in the 1000 watt range (which this product really is) you are better off buying a much cheaper inverter that hooks up to your car battery.

It gets worse: the generator vibrates so badly that any cord you plug into it vibrates out! You can't even plug electrical cords into this piece of garbage. And I'm not talking about old, worn extension cords. I mean brand new cords won't stay plugged in. I have one cord that will stay plugged in and I had to bend the prongs terrible crooked so they will stay in!

I am sorry that I purchased this generator, and I would never purchase this brand again.

The cons:

1) Generator doesn't start
2) Generator doesn't deliver advertised power
3) You can't plug anything into it
4) You can't return it when you find out it doesn't work
5) It blows a lot of smoke when it runs
6) It's loud
7) It's made in China and there is NO manufacturer's support

The pros:

It is useful for propping doors open? I really can't think of anything good to say about it.

Generac 5846 XG8000E 8,000 Watt 410cc OHVI Gas Powered Portable Generator with Wheel Kit & Electric Start (CARB Compliant) Review

We purchased this generator to run our entire house during the numerous power outages we are forced to endure every year up here in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It seems that whenever we get a strong winter storm with any amount of gusty winds, our power invariably goes out. Some times these outages can last for days, and a few years ago we were without power for over 6 days! Of course this always happens when our outside air temperature is in the 20s which makes it even harder to endure. After the last big outage last winter we decided that before the winter of 2012 we were going to buy a generator!

We started by looking at the big propane fueled standby generators but the cost was prohibitive. That left only a gasoline fueled unit which I wasn't crazy about because I didn't like the idea of having to store gasoline on our property, but three Eagle U2-51-S Red Galvanized Steel Type II Gas Safety Can with 7/8" Flex Spout, 5 gallon Capacity, 13.5" Height, 12.5" Diameter gas cans later, that became a non-issue.

I did my usual thorough research online and came away with a clear indication that Generac as a brand was one of the top, if not THE top manufacturers of this type of product. They are 100% made in the USA which was also something we wanted since everything else we looked at was made in China. The primary selling point besides being made in Wisconsin was the Generac designed and manufacturered OHV engine which is designed specifically for use as a generator engine. Since a generator engine is called upon to run at a fixed RPM for hours, days and heaven forbid... WEEKS at a time, we didn't want a unit that used an engine that could also be found on lawn tractors and and other powered vehicles, since this application is a lot more demanding on a motor than that based solely on the hours of continuous operation at a fixed RPM! The Generac engine uses a lubrication system like a passenger car engine complete with an oil filter! Most other brands use a glorified lawn tractor engine with the more primitive SPLASH lubrication system that doesn't lubricate the engine parts as well and won't give you the same longevity when used in this capacity. We needed something reliable for years to come so that the cure didn't become more of a hassle to deal with than the disease!

Anyway... After checking out the various Generac models and consulting with an electrician on our power demands, we settled on the XG8000E, and because we live in California, we were forced to buy the CARB compliant version. When you can only choose from CARB compliant generators your choices are far more limited than most folks in other parts of the country. However, from everything I read online, owners of this particular XG series model were very happy with the unit's performance and reliability.

We made the deicision to purchase it from Amazon.com because their price was very low at the time, and got in right before the new sales tax thing kicked in! The unit arrived in record time and was delivered by a local shipping company right to our carport where I wanted to assemble the wheels and get the unit ready to be rolled to the back deck of our house where it will be permanently housed/used/stored. Assembly was very straight forward and took only a few minutes since all we had to do was to attach the wheels to the frame. The handle and everything else was already on the unit from the factory. The hardest part was lugging this 250 pound monster down the side yard which isn't paved, and this is where I would have preferred softer tires than the hard rubber/plastic tires this unit comes with, but once it was back there, that all became moot, since we are never going to move this thing again!

After final assembly and connecting the starter motor wire, we added in the SAE 30 break in oil that was supplied with the unit, filled it up half way with 5 gallons of gasoline, turned on the fuel switch and hit the electric starter. The unit fired up immediately, and after moving the choke in to the full in position, we proceeded to run the unit for about 30 minutes before stopping it to recheck the oil level. Once we determined that the oil level was still at the correct level, we started the unit again and this time let it run for 2 hours. It purred like a kitten the entire time! No issues whatsoever! Over the next week, we ran the unit for about 30 minutes every few days to put a few more hours on it before we hooked it to a serious load. We ran it this way for a while longer until our electrical contractor could come out to wire in the big four prong power cable and breakers to connect the 8000E to our home's electrical box.

Once that job had been completed, we switched off our main power, started the generator and let it run for a few minutes before plugging in the big power cable and flipped the red power switch on the front of the unit which then sent the power from the generator to our entire house. We turned on everything we could think of in our home in order to see how much of a total load our place would put on the 8000E. This included all the lights in all rooms, a big screen TV, audio amplifiers, our XBOX, PS3, 5 Macintosh computers, two space heaters, a toaster oven, a microwave and our forced air heater blower (Gas heat). Even with all of this stuff turned on, the power demand display on the 8000E was only showing a 40% load! (First two segments on the POWER BAR LED display)

Now normally, during a power outage, we would never have all of this stuff on and running at the same time, but it was a good test. The XG8000E handled this load without breaking a sweat and we proceeded to let it run for over an hour as we tried switching other devices on and off to see how it effected the load. With only our usual power demands, the total load was only 20%, which based on the owner's manual should give us over 20 hours of operation on a single 9 gallon tank. Generac rates the unit at 10 hours at a 50% load.

While we haven't had a power outage since we purchased this unit, we are more than prepared for one now and could not be more pleased with how smoothly this unit starts up and operates. And more importantly, how well it ran all of our home's various power demands!

I have read some complaints here and a few other online review sites about the noise of this unit, and I frankly find that odd! Apprently, these folks must not be familiar with other brands of generators and how loud most of them are compared to this one! Our Generac is far less noisey than any of our neighbors generators which are all in the 5500 to 6500 watt range. No... I can't agree with that complaint at all! In fact, as the unit has been breaking in, the overall sound output from the unit has gone down noticeably from the first few hours of operation. This is most likely due to the engine breaking in and all the various parts seating into their final orientations.

My advice is simple...If you live in California and are forced like we were to buy a CARB compliant gasoline powered generator, AND you want to power your entire house with it, then I don't think you can go wrong with the Generac XG8000E or possibly the 10000E if you need more power than this one can put out! We are very happy with our purchase and look forward to years of trouble free service and no longer fear the consequences of our frequent winter storms! Now when the power goes out, I just flip the starter switch, fire this thing up, plug in the 4 prong power cord, flip the breakers on our power box and viola! All the power we need for as long as we need it!

5-Stars and then some!

Instapark® CBL50 12-Gauge MC4 Male to Female Solar Panel Extension Cable, 50-Foot, UL Listed Review

Good quality cable, however, be aware, this only comes with 1 cable, you need 2 for a solar panel. I didn't know this would only come with one, so I was one short on the install.
