Can someone tell me which side of the generator I should be plugging in my well pump. Id assume the left. That where I get the power for my camper a/c.

It depends on the voltage your pump uses. 120 or 220 and the amps it pulls

No idea. 1.5 h.p pump. I was told 220. No booklet no nothing

For that size pump, 220V makes sense, Wire colors for a three wire Pump are usually Red, Yellow and Black. Two wire Pumps have a Red and a Black. If you have a Yellow and a Red, you have probably not yet located the Black wire. It may be broken off in the Well. So chances are you will have to pull the Pump to make repairs anyway.

You will need a L14-30P (plug) for end of cord at generator...

You will ignore White Neutral and just connect to Line 1 and Line 2 and safety ground...

Pressure switch it should just be wired in series between generator and pump controller...

IF you don't have complete understanding of this, get help....
