Now have a neighbor being told MHs' outlets should be 220v. States he's done it beofore for people. That's contrary to anything I've ever heard, but I could well be wrong.
So, 110 or 220 for neighbors outlet?
And for the sharp-eyed, I made a similar post on a different forum, not RV.Net.
Tell your neighbor that he is an idiot! All RV's (OK, a few exceptions) use 120V. A 30 amp RV MUST be wired for 120V. A 50 amp coach MUST be wired for 120V. However, the 50 amp RV has 2 legs of 120V service and between the 2 legs there is a reading of 240V if you connect a meter but nothing in the coach is wired for 240V. Hooking up your 30 amp RV to 240V = BOOM!
