I have an old 5KW generator with an L6-20 receptacle Can the L6-20 be replaced with an L14-20 perhaps by simply tying ground and common together?

The L6-20 is a 20 amp 250 volt (two pole, three wire grounding) receptacle There would be no neutral connected to this device. The L14-20 is a 125/250 volt (three pole, four wire grounding) receptacle If you can find a neutral in the junction box of the generator you can connect the L14 in place of the L6. Existing hot wires to the X and Y terminals, ground to the G terminal, and the newly found neutral to the W terminal.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you connect a 4 prong generator twist and lock and 4 wire cable to a 3 prong transfer sw receptacle?
Generally, the screws that the wires go on are color coded. The two hot wires(black & red) go on the brass colored screws, the white goes to the silver screw, and green goes to the green screw. There are many variations on the configuration of the plug, so no answer would be foolproof. There should be some kind of diagram that came with the plug though. It would also be best to turn off all breakers to the load, and check for proper voltages when the generator is running before turning breakers back on and using the power.
How to Remove skunk odor from shoes?
The best and fastest way to get rid of the skunk odor is using an ozone generator. At the moment I am tackling with this issue but I don't have the equipment to make an ozone generator. Therefore I am benefitting from sun rays which have almost the same effect of an ozone generator. However it takes more time to work out. Sun rays are perfect for getting rid of the bad odor from any textile or product. It can even remove the cat pee smell on a shoe or textile, but as I said it takes some time; perhaps a few days. Alpocalypse..
What size generator would you need to run a 300 watt pa sound system for a few hours?
A 300 watt audio system means it has a peak power of 300 watts but the average power might be only a fraction of that, perhaps 5-10 watts. So it might run off a car battery, with an inverter to supply the correct voltage if needed. <<>> A 300 watt public address sound system will operate very nicely from as small as a 500 watt AC generator. A 1000 watt generator will give you more capacity if there are other devices that need powering.

Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.
What size generator do you need for a 30 amp RV?
I assume your travel trailer is strictly 120 volt as most are. watts = volts * amps watts = 120 * 30 watts = 3600 You need a 3600 watt or bigger generator. If your trailer has an AC unit or other appliance with a fairly large motor I would suggest a larger generator to handle the high starting current that a motor draws just during startup, perhaps a 5000 watt unit. If you camp in national parks, be sure your generator comes with a USFS approved spark arrestor on the muffler or you will get a ticket for using it. Also look for a quiet one as many parks have noise limits too.

How can I get more power out of me small power generator?
There is no easy or quick way to get more power out of a smaller generator. Trying using it to only do a small number of tasks at a time, or if you want to do more, perhaps invest in a bigger generator.
