30 amp rig plugged into 50 amp outlet
With an adapter, can I plug my 30 amp rig into a 50 amp outlet? What I understand is, if I do not demand more than 30 amps at a time, I will not blow fuses, Somebody explain this 30 vs. 50 amp thing...

The schematic of the adapter will look like this. NOTE: Only one HOT LEG is wired to your trailer. You will have 50A service all the way to your 120V Circuit breaker Panel but will only be allowed to use 30A of it otherwise you will trip the main 30A Circuit breaker ion your panel. The fuses you are reffering to are 12VDC fuses. None of this are involed with the 120VAC side of your panel...

Actually you will find the 50A service alot more reliable since most folks do you use this at the campgrounds. They most have the 30A Trailers...
The only drawback i have heard about is the 30A Shore Power Cable may not be rated high enough for the 50A Service you are plugged into but seems to be safe as you only will be able to draw only 30AMPS through it...
This is good RV Adapter to have in your tool box...
