I bought the 3050 watt 3500 watt maximum generator at Harbor Freight. The instructions say not to use with sensitive electronic equipment. Is it safe to power my travel trailer with this it has a twist lock plug for 25 amp that I have an adapter to plug my 30 amp trailer plug into.
ANSWER: Greetings Michael thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
Since you don't tell me the brand of the generator you bought at Harbor Freight I am going to have to assume that it is a Chicago Brand Contractor Grade Generator, although I could not find a Chicago Generator that meets the wattage specs that you provided.
So to be on the safe side I suggest very strongly that you look at the owner's Manual that came with the generator to make sure that the twist plug you are planning to plug your Travel Trailer into is not a 220 Volt Welder Plug. If you plug your travel trailer into a 220 volt plug bad things will happen.
OK to answer your original question, if it is not a 220 volt plug you will probably get away with plugging your Travel Trailer into it. The reason for the warning on the generator is to basically let you know if you fry your TV, AC unit or any other appliance in
