You need to wire(jump) L1 and L2 together. If you do NOT, then your transfer switch will not work and if no transfer switch only 1/2 of the 120 breaker panel will have power. I have this type cord in our shop for ease of moving the cords and have built one that is 50 feet long which is cheaper than using a 50 foot long 4 wire 50 amp cable. We use them just to get quick 120 power to a 50 amp coach when we do not need more than 30 amps of power. Doug
My coach is wired for 50 amps, but I also did not like the heavy cord. But in my case, I replaced the heavy cord with a lighter 4 wire cord as both of my circuits are limited to 30 amps each at the coach and I can never draw an actual 50 amps. It made my life easier!!!
