30 amp Generator outlet - replacement ??

[Ksnowdog]

The outlet to plug in my coach's 30amp cord to my generator needs replaced (outlet is loose and plug doesn't fit tight).

At first glance, without taking a close look, it appears I can just run to the home improvement store and but a 30 amp outlet and wire it up just as I would in my house.

Onan generator in a Winnebago Brave - if that makes any difference.
Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance

Home Depot sells this outlet. Be careful, because it is a special RV outlet. It looks like a 220 outlet, but it is a RV 120 outlet.

Thanks GA Traveler, I'll look for the specific one!

I just pulled out the old outlet, it says 30amp 125 volt and specifically says "Travel Trailer Use Only".
I'm on my way to Home Depot to grab another one. If by chance I find one that is 30 amp 125 volt that does not say "For Travel Trailer Use Only" on it, would it still work?

Yes it should if it has the same blade configuration.

Found one at Home Depot, says "Recreational Vehicle Use Only", seems to work just fine - thanks for the help
