Thanks for taking the time to read this. My wife and I have had our 2000 Itasca Suncruiser for 8 months or so now and have officially almost figured out everything there is to know about it! Ha, how's that for confidence?! There is one thing that I do not quite understand though. This coach (35U/Ford) has a 30amp power cord yet on the power panel inside the motorhome has a selection for 50/30/20 amp service. We've figured out that the basement A/C unit has 2 compressors and that selecting the correct amperage rating for the service provided has a major influence whether or not breakers are tripped. My question. How would we ever utilize 50 amp service if the power cord into the RV isn't a 50 amp cord? We recently went to a park that had 50amp service and I plugged in using a 50 to 30 amp reducer on my cord yet was still not able to select the 50amp selection inside the RV on the power panel. Does this make sense?
that same panel system was used on diesel pushers that had 50 amp service.You have not learned it all otherwise you would not have tried the 50-30 thinking your now getting 50 LOL
