Plug 50 AMP into 30AMP
If you have a Motorhome that is set up with 50 amp and you can only find a camp with 30 AMP can you plug into it? Will it cause a problem with the electrical system>

As stated above, yes this will work. And for most of us it will not make any difference. For example. My trailer is set up to operate 2 A/C units, microwave, electric water heater and a washer dryer. Because of all these high draw items that could be in the trailer they wire it for 50 amp. If I had all those and tried using them on 30 amp I would be kicking breakers. However, I do not have a second A/C unit or a washer/dryer. So unless things just happen to pile up where the water heater is on, the A/C is on, and we run the microwave for a few minutes to cook baked potatoes, we generally do not have any problems with using 30 amp service.
