- jyExplorerI replaced a 30 amp outlet with a 50 and used the same box and piping.(I did pull new larger wiring.The 50 amp receptecle I got was slightly larger than the 30 amp.5 minutes of filing and I am good to go.

- ChooChooMan74ExplorerI bought a 50amp RV box at Home Depot, due to the fact that is all they had. I went to my local Granite City Electric (Proud sponsor of the Boston Red Sox!), and got a TT30 receptacle. The hole size was the same, but the 2 had different mounting holes. I just drilled 2 new mounting holes, and now I have a TT30 with a 50 amp sitting on the shelf if I ever get a bigger camper.
- BumpyroadExplorerwoops, misread the question
bumpy - jyExplorerI,m a retired electrician.I know the wiring requirements.I just want to know if the physical size(dia.) is the same.
- naturistNomadAn odd question. Why do you ask? If you are considering converting one to the other, there's a lot more to it than the diameter of the receptacle. They are wired differently, you know.
