hooking 30 amp TT to 50 amp service
Last summer we hooked up our 30 amp TT to a 50 amp service. The breaker inside would trip. Is it a problem to plug into a 50 amp?

BUMPYROAD - I probably should build up one of those as well for the RV TOOL BOX.
I usually don't see many 50-AMP service places where we usually go. Lucky to find 30Amp and 20Amp connections hehe...
The opposite of that would be the two male 30AMP PLUGS feeding a 50A FEMALE socket adapter. I have heard of some folks swapping out one of those 30AMP PLUGS for a 20AMP PLUG and then can have the 30A and 20A pedestal connections feeding a 50AMP FEMALE connection adapter to power up both zones of their 50AMP trailer (One side with 30AMPS and the other side with 20AMPS).

Since I don't have a 50AMP trailer guess I don't need any of these...
One always has to worry about having a HOT male plug laying around before it gets plugged in I guess... I don't think this one could be back-fed from the 50AMP trailer however - would definitely do some checking first if I had one hehe...
