I hope this isn't a stupid question, but here goes.

I just bought (1) Honda EU2000ia companion generator.  I plan on getting a 2nd one so I can run the AC, but wanted to start with the one.  It has a 30A outlet as well as a 20.  My trailer has a 30A outlet on it, but the generator info says not to use it until I have 2 generators hooked up with the parallet kit.

I also have the 110 outlet rubber piece and have used that on the plug.  Can I buy a 20A outlet to put on the end of the 30A plug? 

I bought this model since it weighs 47 pounds which I can lift in and out of the truck.  I cannot lift the 150 lbs 3000 unit.

10-4.... You can purchase an adapter to get you up and running.

I've got a couple 15 amp male to 30 amp RV adapters in "my box"... Don't leave home without them.

You got an RV/Camper retail store close by? I'd bet they would have what you're looking.

Thanks everyone - I checked Home Dept and they didn't have it and I left before I saw the Wal-Mart posts, BUT I remembered buying some adapters awhile back.  I checked in the garage and found one that is perfect. 

Now I can keep toasty warm this weekend camping as we're heading to Kissimee State Park Preserve and at night it's gonna be in the 30's!  60's during the day.
