And People keep telling me "That won't work"
3O amp RVs are 120 volt I know the plug LOOKS like a 240 volt plug and many are the electrictians who think it is but the TT30 outlet says "Max 125 volts" right on the body or frame.. Same with the Plug.
This is why I recommend all 30 amp RVers have a Progressive Industries HW-30C installed (For 50 amp make it a HW-50C) This device, along with the remote display. if you plug into a miswired outlet (IE: 240 with a 30 amp rig) will tell you "240 volts do not bypass" and you can get it fixed.
The cost.. of the HW-30.. TV+Microwave+converter and possaibly parts of the Fridge and water heater and more.... The cost of the HW-30 is peanuts.
Set it for LONG DELAY and it also protects your Air Conditioner from power "Blinks" (where power goes out for just a couple seconds) this is a "long term" saving but.... IT makes the HW-30 even cheaper long term.
