The guy on the next site tells me he doesn't have the same issue because of a pig tail he brought that plugs into the 30 amp and the 15 amp sockets, his surge protector shows 45 amps. Has anyone else had experience with one of them? Good / bad? He did say it won't work if the 15 amp socket is a ground fault.
Even with the cheater box, a person in a 50-amp coach can't live like he has 50-amp service because "50-amp service" is actually 100 amps, and 45 amps via a cheater box really is 45 amps (30 amps + 15 amps).
We've used a cheater box successfully for many years, but you have to know what you're doing. You can't just plug it in and think, "We're on 50 amps now."
