Moving from 30 Amp to 50 amp in my new TT
I sold my old Travel Trailer with 30 amp system and I just discovered the new trailer I ordered has a 50 amp system. From what I've read I still can power the trailer as it sits next to my garage wit...

Nope. Not a one running 220 volts. Basic RV electricity - “Although a 50 amp service for a recreational vehicle, or RV, is connected to four wires and uses a four-prong plug, it is still a three pole service with only hot, neutral and ground connections. It is different from a conventional 120 volt service in that there are two 120 volt hot feeds, or legs, each at 50 amps.”
Interesting. I have 220v clothes washer AND dryer. I have a standard 50A service. Mine is wired with four wires. Mine uses ALL four wires.
Maybe I gotz a special one???
Interesting that you state 220 WASHER. I have had 220 dryer service in 5 houses and NEVER saw a WASHER 220 outlet or such service. While you can buy 220 washers, WHY would you want one?
YES, you got a special one. You seem to have a MOBILE SUITE RV which is a Hi Line 5th wheel and they customize their units. Even $750,000 Motorhome do not have 220 dryers. Years ago, Monaco optioned a 220 dryer plug on some of their Signature series for having the better 220 dryer. So, you are correct, but for 99% of 50 amp RV's there are NO 220 plugs in the RV. Doug
