WTB: Honda 30 amp parallel cable or similar

I have two Honda 2000 generators. Neither is a companion model and do not have a 30 amp output receptacle.

I am looking to buy the parallel cord that has a 30 amp receptacle built in to the cord.

Honda made these cords to use before a companion model with a 30 amp receptacle was on the market but have been since discontinued. There are similar 3rd party makers.

Used is ok.

Thanks

Ps, anyone know why a city is required when posting in the wanted section?

I use the Harbor Freight kit and it works fine. I have an older Honda 2000 and the predator 2000 watt inverter. Together with the kit they run AC or Microwave nicely

City is required because most items for sale are not shippable, and therefor, if you are looking for, say, a tow dolly, and you're in new mexico, you don't need to bother looking at one for sale and going back and forth with the seller only to find out 3 exchanges later that the seller is located in Maine.

PS, i am shocked to find out that they no longer make the kit. The fact that they now make a companion model does nothing to change the fact that 100s of thousands of non-companion models are out there.

I wasn't looking or posting in the *for sale* section. I was posting in the wanted section and thus my question,

If you have the item I am looking for, I simply ask how much you want shipped to.........[fill in the blank] Profile info won't work, I am often somewhere else, maybe you too.

I have found that the parallel cable from this vendor,

with a phone call to Reliance Cable tech department, is more than adequate to suit my needs.


Thanks to all who responded here and off list.

Yeah, sorry, I hear ya, and for small stuff that's shippable it can be annoying, especially if you are on the move anyway. I was just going by what I think is typically the reasoning behind the city requirement in a lot of automotive type forums that i've been a member over the years. Some forums I have seen will actually even have sub-forums for different regions, to try to keep it local, especially when there is a higher volume of items listed.
