I recently installed a second AC in my fiver.The trailer originally was built with 30 AMP service. I added a second 20 AMP electric source on the side near the front bedroom.I purchased a 50' 10Ga 20 AMP extension cord to attach to the power pole at campgrounds. Now I am questioning what I will do if the campground only has 50 and 30 AMP service.Does anyone know of a dogbone adapter that could plug into a 50 AMP service and "Y" off into two other outlets, one 30 AMP and one 20 AMP ? I would prefer a moulded unit that is weather proof rather than attempting to make one myself.Thanks.

So far I have never seen a site without a 20 amp outlet. :)

A guy here in El Paso did the same thing using the pigtail 2oldman posted the link too. He is pleased so far without any issues.

I built something similar but better. used a male 50 amp plug, two 30 amp female pigtails with aluminum box connecting it all. can either use 30/20 adapter in one or can select side of 50 amp that has best juice.bumpy

The adapter on Amazon looks like what I am needing. But the price is a bittough to deal with...Can anyone offer a less expensive solution ?

Hi,

Much better to "roll your own".

Yah. Buy all the parts separately, and wire it up yourself..but you'd rather not do that so.....

Get a 50->30 and a 30->20 adapter.

The only time you'll need the $150 adapter is when there is only 50a service.

don't worry about spending the money. besides you will just waste it on gas or some other silly thing.
