125/50 amp and 125/250 50 amp are two different animals. they are not interchangeable. 125/50 amp is obsolete i have never seen one on a dock Me either, but I have all of the adapters and cords. I only use it to hook into a 30 amp receptacle.

I have an adapter that might work. It has 2, regular 3 prong plugs, that make a single 240v twist lock female.. made by Hubbell, the 2 heavy 3 prong cables run to a box, then the 50amp 240v female twist lock comes off the other end of the box... never have used it... wonder if I could plug the 2 3 prong plugs into the EcoFlow and go to one of the 240 inputs?

Well, I'm about ready to try my "poor mans" inverter. I bought a Bluetti AC200 max, 3 Bluetti pv200 Solar Panels, and a 50 amp 125v to 30 amp 125v RV adapter.. I don't really see a dedicated rotary switch position for the 125v position, but there is an indicator light... still waiting on a few MC4 connectors.. the Battery pack has 2048 Kwh's and a 2200 watt output with a 4400 watt surge capacity... hoping it will run my fridge and a TV set.. film at 11.00

Well I hooked up my bluetti solar inverter... works like a champ! The "but" is... it takes 200 watts just to run the isolation transformer! Nothing on at all, jut the boost to 240v... 200 watt consumption! Is there anyway to bypass the isolation transformer? And just run the 120v stuff? There are separate breakers for them, in addition to the shorepower breakers.. ??

Just set it up like a second (or third) generator. Add a slide breaker with an existing generator source and run it through there.

I guess I'm late to the party with this inverter/solar stuff. I went to plan B and just running my fridge from the Bluetti. I've got 2 of the 3, 200 watt solar panels out and so far, it looks like it will power it indefinitely... when the compressor is running, 130 watt consumption, next to nothing when off. I'm making more than that from the solar.. the Bluetti has 2048kwh, so with no sun I'm guessing it would run 2 days, with sun... I'm guessing it will run for days and days! I'm planning my REAL system now, 12kw hybrid split phase inverter, server rack battery system... and I'll get whoever installs that to go the Generator hook up route!

Just run the generator. All these guys with the inverters sit there sweating or freezing bragging about how quiet it is while they’re getting eaten alive by bugs

Some places won’t allow generators running 24/7.
