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...

While I've seen lots of 50 amp parks there is always a 30amp plug, if you plug something rated at 30amps into a circuit protected by a 50amp breaker it's like plugging a 15 amp hair dryer into a 30 amp protected circuit, all's well until you need the CB to trip.
at home I'm always plugging a 2-3-or 4 amp device into a 15-20 amp circuit.

When you plug a 30 amp trailer into a 50 amp pedistal, the 30 amp main in the trailer protects the trailer. The only thing that can draw 50 amps is the power cord. If someone slices into the cord, 30 amps will kill them just as dead as 50 amps will.
