Electric Pigtails
New RV'er with a Class A motor home. It uses a 30 amp power. Can someone please explain going "down" from a 50a, and "up" from a 15a. I understand I can use a pigtail, 50a to my 30a with no problem...

Okay, this can get confusing, but here's my solution: I have a native 30-amp coach. The generator puts out 54 amps, so I can run both roof A/C units on the genset. On shore power, the cord only allows 30 amps, so I split the system using a power management adapter kit to allow the use of an additional 20-amp cord to run the single air circuit (on my rig, the forward A/C). To do this method efficiently, I bought a 50-amp to 2 30-amp adapter, run the coach off one side via a surge protector and the forward A/C circuit off the other leg on a 20-amp cord. It's a damage-control method of getting 50 amps out of a part pedestal into a native 30-amp coach. On hot days, it's a Godsend. HTH
Here is what I did for the Hurricane I had. Worked great!
