Well-explained. Thanks for that. I never understood this until recently. This could keep somebody from messing up an electronic or having a fire. Thanks again.
Excellent! Just subscribed, I have had this question for a long time and you answered it very clearly. Saved the video in my "rv tips" folder. Thank you!
Great explanation right here. Question- a 50a rv pulls from both sides of the plug . When you use a 50a to 30a does the 30a adapter still feed to both 50a 110v sides at a lesser amperage or does it only feed one side at 30a? Thank you!
It's not how much it feeds. It's how much you can pull through the breaker. RVs use four wires, and "standard" household outlets use three wires. Those adapters simply use jumpers to make the one wire from the house feed two wires to the RV. So, the black wire from the house will actually feed two wires in the RV (black and red). You will have 120v on both legs of the RV. But you have to be careful because you can't draw as much amperage due to that black wire doing double duty. Hopefully, this helps. And by the way, I'm not an electrician or an RV tech. Just sayin.

How many amps does a Dometic 6.3 cu ft 2-Way Fridge draw? Thank you
