You are correct. The trailer is an RV so no ground. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Ok, I got it done. The wiring run is 72' buried 24" down in 1" PVC pipe and 83' overall. I ran 4 6 gauge wires. One each red, black, green and white. I connected the red to L1, black to L3, white to N and green to ground. I set the genny to 120/240. I wired the RV end just like you would a 240/...

Thanks to all who have assisted me in this project. The genny will be delivered some time next week. It will then take me a couple of weeks to do the installation. I promise that I will come back with an update at that time. Again, Thanks everyone!! RD

My unit has the 50 amp option. I have already done the battery thing. I have 4 100 amp/hour Lithium Iron batteries (Battle Born) and a premium charger. Solar is out! My property is heavily forested and even in the small clearings that get sun light, I would need a massive amount of panels to...

This is the best wiring diagram for an RV 50 amp 120v I could find. Both black wire and red wire are 120v supply. From the genny, each would provide 26 amps when set in the 120/240 setting. Remember I will be wiring direct from the genny. Not through a plug. The other option is to run one black...

That's a good read! Check out the section on RV Breaker panels. https://www.rvtechmag.com/electrical/chapter6.php

I'm actually not using the RV plug. I am hard wiring from the genny straight to the inside breaker panel in the RV. I would post pics but the RV is in 30" of snow, 2 hours from here. It is a 36' fifth wheel with 3 slideouts made by NU-WA under the name Hitchhiker premier. These pics are not of...

First off, A big Thank you to everybody for your help and guidance. At times it was confusing but that just forced me to work harder toward an education and a decision. My plan is to run in the 120v/240v 1PH position. I will run appropriately sized wire in a 1 1/4" PVC conduit and hard wire into...

I have been powering the RV with a Yamaha EF3000iseb genny up until now. It has a rated max output of 2800 watts and 25 amps plus a 500 watt 10 second boost for larger draw items. I have it connected to the RV with a 10 gauge power cord 100 feet long. It works ok with some power management, for...

The manual does not cover the electrical system to the point that is required to answer the question. The manufacturer does not want the average knucklhead messing with the inner workings of the electrical system.

Please elaborate. Where should these 3 wires be connected? What setting should the genny be set on, 120 or 120/240? I don't see a 50 amp setting.

Wow! Now I'm really confused!! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Thanks, I tried as well.

LittleBill This indicates to me that in 240v. it puts out 26 amps TOTAL.

That charger is used for 2 100 amp/hour Lithiom iron batteries. It charges them from completely dead to full in under 2 hours.

The charger requires a 20 amp outlet to operate. Progressive Dynamics model PD9100L input voltage 105-130 volts 1025 watts output voltage 14.6 vdc 60 amps

Thank you sir for your assistance (this goes for everybody!!). I am NO electrician, far from it, I am a near complete novice. I must not know how to read the data plate because all I see is that in 120v/240 config, it puts out 26 amps. I dont see anywhere that it says 26 amps per leg.

No. The charger draws 20 amps/hour during full charge mode.

Are you saying that each leg of the 240v would supply 26 amps? If so, you are the first to make that claim and, if you are correct, then my problem does not exist. My understanding is that, in 240 config. I would be getting 26 amps TOTAL.

Could be as much as 50 or more. A/c = 16, battery charger = 20, microwave = 12, lights = 5. Now I'm over 50 without trying to hard. I know power management will have to come into play.
