50amp on RV, how to plug in at home?
I have a 50amp Wildcat, just pulled into driveway for first time. Was going to sleep in tonight with boys, but the AC keeps breaking the house breaker. I have the 50amp plugged into 3 prong dog bone...

Another thing.
If your RV battery is pretty low, then plug in the RV charger at least to recharge the battery before your trip, so that you will have power once you get there. It might be the battery charger using 5 amps and tripping the already loaded house circuit breaker.
Some new code requires that ark interrupting circuit breakers are used. These might trip due to the RV being plugged in. it is sort of like a GFI circuit breaker, however it detects arks, such as when a extension cord is sparking, and trips instantly, even at less than the amperage rating on the circuit breaker.
