50 amp RV wiring

When we are on a 30 amp plug we can not run fireplace heater and make a coffee at same time. If we can hook up to 50 amp will that help. Do the two hots of a 50 amp hook up feed two different circuits of the trailer?

  • Assuming you have a 50 amp RV then yes plugging into a 50 amp pedestal will give you over 3x the power.

    If your trailer is wired for 50 amp service then yes. If 30 amp no.
