attage to achieve a maximum rating of 12 00 watts but we have to be careful here because it can be easy to jump to the conclusion that the generator you choose should be able to supply 12 000 watts however this is not necessarily int the case a generator that powerful can be very expensive and actually provide much more power than you ll really use 2 determining your electrical needs determining your rv s electrical needs requires careful consideration of the startup and running wattages for your various appliances startup wattage refers to the amount of power an appliance needs to get started running wattage is the amount of power needed for that appliance to keep running as you ll see in the table from honda below startup wattage is generally higher than running wattage appliance starting wattage running wattage microwave oven 1 000 1 300 1 500 1 000 1 300 1 500 rv refrigerator 600 180 electric grill 1 650 1 600 coffee maker 800 800 blender 850 400 satellite receiver 250 240 radio 50 200 50 200 laptop 200 250 200 250 toaster 1 150 1 150 tv 200 to 600 200 to 600 it s important to note here however that the specific electrical ratings of the appliances may differ from the numbers in this chart these are general numbers to give you an idea of which appliances in your 50 amp rv might require the most power 3 choosing enough wattage for your 50 amp rv so now let s look at how to choose enough wattage for your 50 amp rv s specific needs and let s start with clarifying startup wattage versus running wattage your rv s appliances are going to consume more power when starting up than they will once they re already running this means that you should place more weight on finding a generator that supplies enough startup wattage for your appliances rather than focusing on running wattage the major factor that will determine the needs of a 50 amp rv is whether you have one or two air conditioning units on your rig a 50 amp rv with a single air conditioning unit will most likely be fine with a 4 000 watt generator but the addition of a second 15 000 btu a c will cause your startup can cause your startup wattage requirements to jump substantially calculating the startup wattage for your rv s largest appliances is the place to start when determining how much wattage you ll need in a generator rv air conditioner size starting wattage running wattage 7000 btu 1700 watts 600 watts 10 000 btu 2000 watts 700 watts 13 500 btu 2700 watts 1250 watts 15 000 btu 3500 watts 1500 watts the air conditioning unit or units refrigerator and microwave are three examples of appliances with the largest electrical draws in a typical rv while it can be tempting to simply add up the startup wattages for all of your appliances and then buy a generator that meets that rating that s often a means for overspending on a large generator that you might not really need for starters you most likely aren t and shouldn t be running all of your appliances at the same time being mindful of running only certain appliances simultaneously is a great way to reduce your overall power needs and also increase the overall engine life of the generator that you do select it should also be noted that buying a generator that supplies more wattage than you actually a need is essentially a waste there s no sense in buying a 12 000 watt generator if you re only consistently running appliances with a maximum need closer to 6 000 watts you ll essentially have 6 000 watts of wasted energy at that point and your operation will be very inefficient overall things to consider when buying a 50 amp rv generator 1 generator weight because 50 amp rv generators tend to house larger engines they also weigh more than smaller models by nature this makes them less portable although some models come with wheels that help you roll them from place to place there will inevitably be instances where you ll need to lift one of these generators so make sure you re comfortable with the weight of the generator you re interested in before finalizing your decision 2 parallel connection certain generators are designed to connect to another similar model to provide additional power for your rv while most 30 amp rvs might not require this additional wattage this is a more important consideration for those seeking a 50 amp service although these generators are rated to produce enough startup wattage for the typical rv air conditioning unit running your a c refrigerator microwave and fans while having multiple devices plugged into wall outlets may overload cause your generator to fall a bit short of your power needs while we highlighted some of the reasons why you shouldn t run all of your appliances simultaneously above buying a generator with parallel capability will allow you to increase the amount of power supplied to your rv at a later time should the need arise 3 fuel type most generators run on either gas propane or diesel fuel some are called dual fuel generators and those are capable of running on some combination of those fuel types gasoline and propane are the most common combinations used by dual fuel generators because they tend to be a bit more readily available than diesel fuel it makes sense to choose a generator that runs on the same fuel type as your rv diesel rvers can easily stock up on that fuel type for their generator every time they make a fuel stop and the same can be said for rvers with gas powered rigs the main advantage of a propane generator is the extended shelf life of the fuel when compared to gas and diesel fuel however access to a reliable propane refill station will dictate whether or not a propane generator makes sense for you 4 noise output a lot of these 50 amp rv generators claim to use something called quiet technology and while it s true that these generators make less noise than some of their predecessors they aren t going to be completely silent they ll produce somewhere between 55 and 70 decibels when running and some only achieve their quietest noise output when operating in eco mode which is usually at 25 or 50 percent load so don t be surprised if the generator you purchase makes more noise than advertised when operating at 100 percent of its capacity noise output is an important consideration however because you ll want something that doesn t keep you up at night or upset your neighbors at the next rv park you pull into that being said i wouldn t weight this factor above the others that i ve detailed above top 4 best generator for 50 amp rv in 2023 w hich generator with 50 amp rv plug is the best choice now you know that the answer to this question depends on a number of decisions that are going to be unique to your rv lifestyle that being said i m going to use this section to detail four of the best portable generators with 50 amp rv plug so here are the 4 of the best generators for 50 amp rv 1 best overall westinghouse ipro4200 inverter generator for rv if you re looking for a portable generator that s trusted on construction sites the westinghouse ipro4200 is rated for industrial grade use that s why many professional contractors bring these generators onto job sites to run their wide selection of power tools with a 2 6 gallon fuel tank you ll be able to run this generator for up to 18 hours at 25 percent of its total load capacity because it s rated for 4 200 peak watts this generator provides enough power to start up and consistently run even the largest rv air conditioning units things we like geared for industrial grade use trusted by professional contractors fuel efficient up to 18 hours run time at a 25 percent load high peak wattage rated to 4 200 peak watts things we don t like requires electrical adapter the three 120 volt 20 amp outlets on this generator will require an adapter to effectively deliver power to a 50 amp rv 2 best for cold climates champion 3800 watt dual fuel rv ready portable generator check price on amazon buy from campingworld although many folks buy rvs specifically so that they can change locations when the weather gets cold the champion 3800 watt dual fuel generator with cold start technology is the perfect choice for those of us to decide to overwinter in our rigs in the event of a fuel shortage of one kind or another you ll be glad that this generator can run on either propane or gas run times vary depending on which fuel type you re using it also features a built in surge protector that protects your rv s appliances from overloads and unpredictable power surges things we like dual fuel generator runs on either gasoline or propane cold start technology ensures quick starts even in cold weather built in surge protector prevents overloads and keeps appliances safe things we don t like run times run time of 10 5 hours at half load on gasoline 9 hours on propane weight weighs nearly 120 pounds which can make it difficult to lift if needed 3 best budget durostar ds4000s 4000 watt 50 amp rv generator check price on amazon some of these 50 amp rv generators can get a little pricey but the durostar ds4000s is a budget friendly option that will still deliver enough power to start up a large 15 000 btu air conditioning unit it s made to withstand the rigors of construction sites so it s also a great generator for those that live in locations that frequently experience inclement weather the low oil shutoff feature on this generator helps to protect the engine from running dry and in doing so extends the overall life of the engine it also reminds you that it has been a bit too long since you ve topped off the oil this generator has a 120 volt 30 amp plug and two 120 volt 20 amp outlets so the only caveat is that you ll need a dogbone adapter to plug in your 50 amp rv things we like durable construction all metal design made to handle rugged construction sites ample peak watts rated for 4 000 peak watts and 3 300 running watts low oil shutoff protects engine from damage when the oil level drops things we don t like requires dogbone adapter you ll need to purchase an additional dogbone adapter to power a 50 amp rv with this generator 4 best for quiet operation champion 4000 watt rv ready dh series quiet rv generator check price on amazon buy from campingworld with a noise output of just 64 decibels when running at 25 percent load the champion 4000 watt dh series generator is an excellent choice for those that don t want to upset their rv park neighbors with an excessively loud generator it has a 2 9 gallon gas tank that gives it the longest run time of any champion generator up to 17 hours at a 25 percent load while this generator produces 4 000 peak watts and 3 500 running watts it can also be connected to two 2800 watt inverter or digital hybrid generators to provide additional power for your 50 amp rv you ll need to purchase an optional parallel connector kit to make this happen but it s a great option for rvers that need power to two large air conditioning units in hot climates things we like quiet technology produces just 64 decibels of noise output parallel ready hooks up to two 2800 watt inverter or digital hybrid for additional power extended run time up to 17 hours at a 12 percent load things we don t like no wheels makes it harder to relocate this generator frequently asked questions the power needs of an rv are dependent on the design of its specific electrical system in this section i ll provide a few helpful answers to questions about 50 amp service and how it differs from 30 amp service what is a 50 amp service the formula for calculating the wattage of an electrical connection requires multiplying amperage by voltage amps x volts watts so if you multiple 50 amps by 120 volts the rating for the hot wire on this type of service you get 6 000 watts however 50 amp plugs actually have two 120 volt hot wires this means that you essentially get double power or 12 000 watts of electrical capacity in technical terms this is called a 120 240 split service a 50 amp service comes with two 120 volt hot wires a neutral and a ground this means that the equation for total wattage looks more like this 50 amps x 120 volts x 2 50 amps x 240 volts 12 000 watts how do 50 amp and 30 amp service differ one major difference between 50 amp and 30 amp service is the number of hot wires in the connection while a 50 amp service has two 120 volt hot wires a 30 amp service only has a single hot wire so when you do the math on total wattage for a 30 amp service you ll see that it supplies a total of 3 600 watts 30 amps x 120 volts this is typically sufficient to supply power to an air conditioning unit microwave refrigerator television and several wall outlets but a 50 amp service is considerably more powerful this is one reason why many rvs that feature two air conditioning units require 50 amp service can i plug a 50 amp rv into 30 amp service yes you can plug a 50 amp rv into 30 amp service but it is not recommended in theory this is possible with the help of a dogbone electrical adapter but plugging a 50 amp rv into a 30 amp service means you ll be limited to 30 amp capacity and it can result in a lack of usability for certain 50 amp rv appliances conclusion i ve personally dealt with a lack of reliable service from my rv park s electrical supply and i can tell you that it s not pleasant especially when you re paying for electricity that you should be able to rely on having a generator is essential for a 50 amp rv even if you simply use it as a backup power source there have been several occasions in my lifetime where we ve had to use our rv generator to provide backup power for our entire home during an extended power outage in your neighborhood you ll be glad you purchased that larger portable generator to keep the lights on and the heater running about author aaron richardson aaron richardson is an expert rver and the co
