Well.. Since it appears I am not going anywhere for a while I put my 50 amp rig on a 50 amp long term site. But back when it was more mobile I ran into that 30 amp site issue many times.
Original wiring for coach
Breaker box--20 amp---------Rear a/C
current config
Breaker box--20 amp------Outlet/Plug---20 amp----Rear AC
(20 amps refers to a 20 amp breaker)
The plug and outlet are in an outside compartment,,,
Years ago there was a company (Power Solutions RV PSRV dot NET) the web site no longer is found... This was basically their design.
50 amp site: Plug into socket
30 amp site: Pull plug, use 12 ga Extension cord to connect to 20 amp park outlet.
NOTE I have seen Cheater boxes and cords that let you plug into both the 30 and 20 amp outlets then plug the RV into that.. THEY DO NOT WORK in many parks, (Any park with GFCI breakers) as they trip the GFCI's
This system I use, Does work.
