Plugging 30A 5th wheel into 50A service
Will I have any problems if I plug my 30A fiver into 50A service at a RV park. I will not be drawing any more than 30A, but the park says I should pay $50 deposit to rent a "box" from them.

Just remember that you will have a 50 breaker feeding #10 30amp rated cable, so if you have a problem ahead of the trailers 30 main breaker, you could have an electrical fire risk. Chris
I've got a little usb box that charges my phone plugged into a 20 amp outet in the kitchen. The cable to my phone is 22 guage. Should I be worried?
Even worse, that 20 amp circuit is probably terminated with a bunch of 15 amp sockets. If that socket doesn't have a horizontal slot on the neutral side, it is probably only rated at 15 amps.
