| I do not know if this exists, or what it is called if it does. My generator has a plug on it that accepts the twist type RV plug. Does anyone know of a cord that will plug into this outlet that splits to two (or more) standard house type female plugs? I've found ones that go from one male twist-to-lock to two or three twist-to-lock female plugs. That is not what I am looking for, though. Any help would be appreciated. |

Generally, the twist-loc is a 220V (at least on the bigger units)so be careful. Not a problem to split it though. I appreciate the warning. My gennie has two of these type plugs. One is 220V. The other is 120V. OK, well converting it to a standard 3 prong 110V is no big deal. But you're just going to overload it if you split it. You're still better off splitting the 220V plug and trying to balance the load on each of the 110V legs if you need extra 110V plugs. |

I think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/images/1651_500.jpg This cord has a 220v 30 amp locking male at the generator end, is 25 feet long, and has 4 110v females at the other end. The cost is $100 and it can be found here. If you want more choices, click accessories on the left (down the page a bit) and then click generator cords. There are undoubtedly other suppliers on the net as well if you want to shop the price... Good luck!

You can make your own splitter, but just make sure you use heavy duty cords because you have the potential to load a cord rated for 20 amps to 30 which could cause overheating and melting. |
