Wiring for 50amp plug
I just rented a storage garage for our new Class A motorhome. It came wired with a 30 amp plug but it's one of the twist type plugs that are typically seen on generators. I purchased a 30amp to 50am...

Can't give you an explanation but the receptacle is listed as 30 amp 120v (that's what the facility says anyway). It's on a box that is attached to the breaker box. When I measure across L1 and L2 on with my meter it showed 235v. If I measured L1 or L2 to the natural it measures 117v. The 30 amp breaker in the breaker panel looked to be a 30amp, single breaker. All my 250v breakers at my house are two breakers with a clip that hooks them together. I'm no electrician by I will be hooking up my progressive EMS to it later to make sure it's wired OK. I believe it is since the meter readings were correct.
Whoa- hold everything. Don't make an adapter for that, get it wired correctly. You will be missing a ground or neutral. I was ASSuming it was a 240 volt outlet.
