How to Connect a Portable Generator to an RV
by Alexander Poirier
RVs provide campers and road trippers with a place to call home while they are away from home. Most RVs come equipped with a generator to give the RV electricity for lights and electronic devices. Some RVs, however, do not. Luckily, portable generators can be hooked up to an RV just like a standard generator to power the RV.
Step 1
Drive the grounding rod into the ground at the location you wish to place the generator.
Step 2
Connect the copper wire from the grounding rod to the portable generator.
Step 3
Route the portable generator's exhaust away from the RV.
Step 4
Plug the RV's generator connector cable into the portable generator.
Step 5
Turn the portable generator on to send power to the RV.
