50 amp or 30 amp hook up at home
I have 220 hooked up to my hot tub that will be going soon.So I want to hook up my fifth wheel to 30 or 50 which ever I can do. Instead of 110v. Any help will be appreciated Thanks

I have 220 going to my hot tub now.I would like to use the breaker box (if I can) to put a 50 amp plug in it.Or will it only 30 amp be acceptable.
Right now I am plugging my 5ver into 50 to 30 to extension cord to a outlet
OK, if you have room in that breaker box for a duplex 50 breaker (which is two 50 amp breakers pinned together) you can easily install a 50 amp RV outlet. You will have L1 hot from one breaker, L2 hot from the other breaker, a neutral to the panel neutral bus and a ground to the panel ground bus.
As suggested, your spa will have GFI breakers which are not always compatible with RV power, so it is far better to have them on separate breakers.
And, yes, of course if you measure from L1 to L2 it will read 240 VAC. From either L1 or L2 to either neutral or ground will read 120 VAC. PERIOD.
