30 amp VS 50 amp

[pattypape]

John, Hmmmmmmmmm, This is marginal, my opinion!!

Big difference 30 amp three prongs X 110 = 3300 Watts
50 amp four prongs X 220 = 11000 Watts,

Look for a 50 amp four prong plug at the hookup.

On 30 amps, 110V, an A/C will draw 10 to 15 amp each.
Do not start at the same time, 30 amps is about the
limit capacity for two A/C's nothing else will be able to be turned
on, (maybe a TV) , but no high wattage items such as refrig, HWT,
charger etc.
Also check the generator for its' capacity..????
