It has one 50 AMP I think 250 volt outlet, but the circuit breaker is labeled as 208 volt. I'm not an electrician so I don't know which it is.
So the question, can that 250 volt outlet be converted to a 50 AMP RV outlet? I know the 50 amp RV outlet has two 120 volt legs. Should this existing 208 or 240 or 250 volt (I guess I'll have to figure that out for sure) have the correct wiring for the RV outlet? It would be nice to have as that will allow me to run the A/C units while in storage as I plan on doing some work on it while indoors.
Read and if you understand Install.
This is the best I can do - I'm 2,700 miles away - If in doubt just call an electrician, really simple.
Best of Luck,
On that link the existing outlet is the NEMA 6-50R that is posted. Note on the face it says 250 volts which is where I got the 250 number from in my original question. The single pole breaker that is in the box has "208 Volt Outlet" written on it. So I assume it's 240 volts? So what I get from this link is the current outlet is probably three wire versus the four wire that I need for the RV outlet.
