Hot Tubs for real

I agree with all above. If I wanted a hot tub I will stay at a nice rv park that has nice hot tubs.

50A service is TWO 50A legs. There are "cheater" adapters that put 30A on one leg and 20A on the other but if the 20A recep is on a GFI its a no go.


We looked at the portable hot tubs. As mentioned, few places would allow it for a short stay. Maybe for a winter or extended time.

Neat idea but the logistics are crazy.
Lots of water
lots of electricity
A pain to get the water to the dump station. ( multiple trips using your waste tanks)
You'll need chemicals to keep it sanitary. Too little and bacteria grows giving you a rash. Too much and you can get a chemical burn.
The next family gets to look at a dead spot in the grass, some parks don't allow mats or even screen houses to protect the grass.

The last thing is safety and insurance. You can't be at the tub constantly so a fence will be needed to keep the kiddies out.

I am also sure any park would greatly appreciate the dead spot you would create under the hottub. Most places would also frown on the significant increase in electrical usage such a setup would place on the park. I would think most places would say unequivocally, "NO WAY".

why on earth wouldn't you just plug the hot tub into the spare 20 amp outlet on the post. why combine them? and yes, my softtub holds 220 gallons and that would cause some concern if I dumped it all at the site. and unless you are staying in a seasonal site getting the water hot would be impossible. IIRC they said on my softub that the water is heated by cooling off the pump motor it raises the temperature a few degrees per hour.
I bought my soft tub during a RV show at dulles airport after I saw a smaller one sitting on the back "porch" of a monster class A.

Yes there are such cords HERE



The bigger problem will be where do you get the water? Can't imagine most parks would be too happy filling up your hot tub with their well. And, what do you do with it after you're done?
