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...

I have a similar Wildcat. Here is what I had to do to get the one air conditioner running on a 15 amp garage plug:
1) Turn off the trailer's water heater circuit breaker. The wildcat has a gas/electric WH and it will be running off electric unless that breaker is turned. There is also a tiny switch inside the WH that allows you to turn it off but it's hard to reach. The WH switch on the panel inside the trailer is just for running it on gas.
2) Turn off the wildcat's refrigerators. The outdoor fridge is not a typical RV low power DC/GAS fridge and is easily forgotten. It draws a lot of amps when it's compressor turns on and that was what finally stopped my garage circuit from popping.
I now have a 50 amp plug in the garage so I don't worry about it any more. Hopefully this works for you.
