Default Generator Cord Sizing 100' Run: Stay With 10-Gauge?
Per (PeteCresswell):
Running the numbers (Copper wire, 10 AWG, 120v, AC single phase, single
set of conductors, 100' distance, load current 30 Amps) into
http://tinyurl.com/nvkyq32, I get a voltage drop of 5.99 (4.99 percent).

Correction: Looking at a photo of the actual outlet on the Companion, I
see it is labeled "26.6" amps..... so the voltage drop is 4.43% instead
of 4.99%.
