    This is a confusing post.

    What is a "fifth wheel"?

    What is the difficulty?

    They sell a connector at the camper store that you can put on the end of your cord to convert from a 30amp plug to a standard outlet that should plug into your generator. We use one all the time at home when we want power in the 5th wheel out in the driveway. For lights, vacuuming, turning the fridge on early before we pack it up etc. The only thing is, I doubt you will be able to run your a/c with the generator. But you should have lights, fridge, etc.
