While that’s technically a code violation because there’s a 50-amp circuit breaker feeding a 30-amp power cord. But the 30-amp breaker in your RV should protect it from overcurrent dangers. I’ll repost an article I’ve written about this scenario later.
I have a question Mike. Your article says " a properly wired dogbone adapter will route the single leg of power from the 30-amp outlet to both legs of the 50-amp shore power cord feeding your RV." Does that mean that each of the 50 amp legs receive 30 amps of power or is only 15 amps delivered to each leg ? Part of my campground (7 sites) only has 30 amp pedestals and I will occasionally park 50 amp RVs there. It would be helpful to know what kind of power we are providing them. Thanks
Thanks
What happens if you plug your 30 amp rv into a 50 amp pedestal with an adapter?
