Aren't they the same? Different prices though.

If you would read the descriptions on each one, you would see that they are not the same.

ie.
mod #
seller
size dimensions
weight
features
= price difference

The pictures shows the same part number, so Amazon must have made a mistake.....as Progessive Industires don't make a 240 volts 30 amps with that plug configuration

I think what the confusion is that Amazon missed up in their description. One is a 30A/120V and the other is a 50A/240V. PD only manufactures one type of each in that style portable.

Thanks boondocking, I know progressive only sells one model but was confused when I saw 2 in Amazon for 30 amps.

Welcome !
I have noticed periodically that Amazon misses up with the description of items, which really confuses the issue.

Good price, it pays to shop around.
I see there is one seller on Amazon that wants $583 plus $21 shipping for the 30a/120v, talk about gouging.
