    Question on a MEP002 from the Electrically Ignorant

    I looked at this chart and it reminded me when I was a kid going into Baskin Robbins and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the flavors... Now that I am an old man, I'm feeling like I need to give an electrician a wad of money and say "looky..." Thanks for the lead.

    Question on a MEP002 from the Electrically Ignorant

    Peter: Thanks a million. I'm one of those "visual" people and this chart shows a lot of plugs that look similar to the one on my RV. Someone needs to write a book someday called "Everything You Wanted To Know About NEMA, But Afraid To Ask..."

    Question on a MEP002 from the Electrically Ignorant

    I'm "electrically challenged" myself, and hope to use one of my MEP-002 generators to power my 5th wheel trailer. Rather than use the 110 adapter on the power cord coming out of my 5th wheel, I'd rather much fabricate a 50 AMP plug (such as those found at KOA campgrounds and parks)... Does...
