Thank you for the very informative diagrams,comments and resources. It is particularly gratifying when there is agreement concerning high voltage. The result is; 30 amp plug from pedestal (wired with 3 wire to the regulator 3 wire positions.) OUT from the regulator (3 position lugs) and to the 50 amp motor home plug; 4 wires of which the 2 hot leg wires are connected on the one hot position in the regulator and continuing to the 50 amp plug where in the 2 hot wires are connected separately to each hot blade in the plug. Thus we have 30 amp source going in and that single hot wire becoming 2 wires to accommodate each leg side of the 50 amp plug; to the motor home distribution system. And quite obviously will still have only 30 amps going into the motor home. Thanks again. Tom
