Is there any problem hooking a 50 amp trailer service to a generator with 30 amp plug using a dog bone

When we Boondock we hook our 50 amp service up to a Yamaha 2000 inverter generator. Keeps the batteries charged runs the fridge and watch a movie. we cant run the a/c which we never need in the mountains, or run the microwave. If we need to run something big we start the coach generator.

L6-30 just needs a different dogbone.

You'll just need to manage your power demand so you don't overload the gen. It will be just like hooking up to a 30a pedestal in a park.

As was said. only one AC can be run. and limit the rest of your electrical accessories.

No issues. When you overload the generator just reduce the load and restart.

no

You cannot run both AC's at the same time.
