208/250 volts
3 Phase power is indicated by the 208 volt label.. This means the phases are not in sync (single phase split) but two phases 120 degrees apart.
Since generally speaking there is nothing in your RV that needs 240 volts. and clearly nothing in stgorag at all.. this will NOT be a problem.
Although I'm mostly using the place for storage, it's actually a shop so that's why it has the existing 240 outlet. I do have a CNC machine that runs on 240 volt power, so I'll eventually take it to this shop to use. Only problem is the existing 240 outlet is no where near where I'd want to put the CNC since it would block the motorhome. So I'll end up putting in a new 240 outlet for it anyway, and it has a different type of plug too.
