Hello,
I have a 2019 Jayco eagle 321, It has the 50 amp and i believe the 4 pole plug? Yes i made the mistake of not having the right adapter and ended up killing
my fireplace. I was looking at buying the Honda 2200 and put them in parallel to get 4400watts. One will have a 125v 30 amp plug for the mail line.
What adapter will i need to get this to work. Currently Im using 240v 30amp line.
Thanks

I'm not following, where did you come up with a 240v 30amp line and what are you plugged into? If you're at home your dryer outlet is 240v 30 amp. unless you've had a separate outlet installed. If you're at a campground that 30 amp plug on the pedestal is 120v. 3600 watts There's plenty of adapters to pare a 240v 50 amp down to 120v 30 amp. You'll just get one leg @120v. and 3600 watts max.
 
Thank you, I think that was my confusion. I am plugged into 240v 3amp at the moment. I messed up my microwave and fireplace because i thought the adapter would have the power right, its has me afraid about
shore power. I have not been to an RV park yet, so i was assuming 240v everywhere. Thank you again

Well if you've got a 50 amp plugged into a 240 v.30 amp outlet on an appropriate sized breaker, you shouldn't mess up any appliances. You'd just trip the breaker. You have the same voltage just fewer watts and amps. If you plug your 50 amp. into the park pedestal, 50 amp recepticle, you're good.
 
What had happened was i plugged into the 240v 30amp house plug, used a 50 to 30 adapter, turned on the microwave, blew that. I checked with a multimeter and I had 120 on each side of the outlet.
