House hookup

I have a Fuzion Chrome toy hauler what do I need to hookup to my house. I have a four prong plug so I need a 50amp breaker. What type wall socket and romex?

Thanks

  • If you decide on either a 30 or 50 amp, I strongly suggest to hire an electrician to do it properly and to code.

    One mistake can cause a lot of damage.
  • Oh my.... If you are wanting to use your camper at home and have full electric service for it, then DO make an investment and have a 50 amp service put in.

    I installed a 30 amp plug for my camper out of my garage (separate from the house). It was the BEST RV modification I ever made. We use the camper all the time at home since. And no fear of blowing any breakers running the air conditioner.

    The only down side is, if I ever change campers and end up with a 50 amp RV, I'm toast! But, hooking up a 50 amp outlet would be very easy with out any serious alterations in the garage. After having 100% availability of the camper now, if switching to a 50 amp camper, I'd switch over in a heartbeat!

    As stated above, you can run minimally from your standard house hold plug. Jet get the step up-downs from 50, to 30, to 20 amp adapters and hook up all up together (but do consider the 50 amp hook-up... you'll be glad you did!)
  • If you just want to have lights and keep the battery charged while storing then using adapters to get the 50 amp plug down to a 20 amp plug to connect to a standard house outlet is all you need. You can even run one A/C from a 20 amp outlet if you do not run much else. If you want to be able to use A/C and other appliances, maybe for use as a guest house for visitors, then you could get by with a 30 amp outlet and a 50 to 30 adapter. If you want full use of everything, then you should have a 50 amp outlet.

    The links above by 2oldman provide all the info needed for wiring one.
  • I ran a 20amp out to mine, standard plug will run lights but not any of the AC.
