Recent memo from Jeff Ontell to all attendees going to the ABC Specialty in recreational vehicles or trailers:

There are number of different plug configurations which are attached to electric cords. In order to assist Bobbi Wagner and to be certain that your plug will fit the 30 amp generators, please draw a picture of the end of the plug and fax the picture to Bobbi. I am referring to the end with the metal prongs. Many plugs have a NEMA code and that information should be included. For example, one configuration is identified as NEMA-30-8. All configurations should start with NEMA-30 and the last number is your socket or plug. Bobbi's fax is 301-877-0278.
