A 50 Amp RV plug is 220 Volts if it has four prongs on the male and female plug. Two being 110 Volt to neutral or ground and one prong being the neutral and the round prong the ground. The voltage between the two 110 Volt prongs should be 220 Volts.

What happens if you hook camper to 220?

Normally it will take out the TV power supply.

Typically, RVs come equipped with either a 30 amp or a 50 amp electrical system. The majority of RVs are equipped with a 30 amp electrical system. Using the 30 amp electrical system in your RV is quite different than using a 200 amp electrical system at home.

Can a 50 amp be plugged into a 30 amp breaker box?

Given the ratings I should be able to plug both the 50 amp plug and the 30 amp plug into separate transfer boxes. This should work because, assuming the 50 amp is fully loaded (almost never the case) the generator can still support 20 amps on the 30 amp plug with a surge power supporting an additional 20 amps.

Can a 30 amp be plugged into a 50 amp RV?

Yes! Some worry that the additional power provided by a 50-amp receptacle will fry their RV’s electrical system, but this isn’t so. You can plug a 30-amp RV cord into a 50-amp power receptacle, such as a power pedestal at a campground, by using an adapter.

Can you replace a 50 amp circuit breaker with a 30gfci?

You can replace the breaker with a 30gfci. If you keep it 50 amp, you can still plug in a load of 24 amps and still be OK. Technically any wiring device, such as a receptacle, downstream from the circuit breaker should be rated the same or higher than the breaker.

Can you plug a 50 amp cord into a 30 amp pedestal?

With an adapter, you can plug a 50-amp RV cord into a 30-amp power pedestal at a campground. The female end of the adapter will plug into your RV cord, and the male end will plug into the power pedestal.
