The common RV adapters and dog bone adapters available are: Unless you’re familiar with the pedestals of the RV park(s) you frequent, it’s always good to have the needed adapters always on hand (unless the RV park sells or rents them out, which isn’t always the case). LED power indicator lights are also useful to show if there’s electricity flowing through.
#50 amp to 30 amp rv plug plus#
20 plus 30 is 50 or one half a regular 50 amp. A 50 amp outlet has TW0 50 amp hots so it provides 100 amps of available power. A 50 amp RV plug has four prongs two 120 volt hot wires, a neutral wire and a ground wire that supply two separate 50 amp, 120 volt feeds. Energizer 50M/30F Amp Electrical Dogbone with handles for easy unplugging,50 AMP (14-50P) Male to 30 AMP (TT-30R) Female,Handles are molded and made of. First, even if it works in a particular campground, it would provide HALF the power of a regular 50 amp outlet. Note: There are different dog bone adapter cable lengths, and a 12” length should be enough since shorter cables would have less probabilities of voltage drops. A 30 amp RV plug has three prongs a 120 volt hot wire, a neutral wire and a ground wire and is generally used on RVs with lower load requirements. Flexible dog bone cable (some claim they have 180 degree bend design or can still be very flexible in cold or hot temperature).A locking connector to keep it securely attached (nobody wants a loose connection) and this also creates a weatherproof connection (especially if you have multiple adapters connected designed to fit standard inlets, Marinco, Hubbell inlets).Has a 90-degree connector to allow easier connection in tight spaces, plus, this also reduces strain on the cord.Having an ergonomically designed adapter (like the Camco PowerGrip 30A M to 15A F Adapter which has a contoured shape and groves for an easier grip) or a dog bone adapter with handles (like the Camco 30A M to 50A F Dogbone Adapter with Easy PowerGrip Handle) so that you don’t have to struggle connecting/disconnecting the adapters and power cords, which would be less damaging on the cable as well. Plus, making sure it has a heavy-duty construction is important since consistently drawing power can lead to the adapter/cord overheating (which means it could melt &/or cause a fire), especially when the adapter is plugged in for a long time. This makes sense because, whether you’re drawing 30 or 50 amps of power from the service pedestal, your RV power cord & the adapter(s) are going to be exposed to the elements. Therefore, any adapter plug that can connect a 30-amp RV plug into a 50-amp socket should connect to ONLY one side of that 240-volt connection.
