I think what I have decided to do is to wire up a 50 amp box using the existing wiring that originally went to the hot tub and use a 30/50 amp converter plug to my camper wiring. How well do the 30/50 amp converter plugs work?
Not a real good idea to wire the 4 pin 50 amp plug. I doubt your WIRE GAUGE for your hot tub is large enough for a 50 amp RV service, but IS for 30 amp RV service. 50 amp RV service is actually 100 amps total, with a 50 amp breaker on the RED and a 50 amp breaker on the Black. Just take the BLACK and the WHITE and the GROUND and wire for 30 amp plug. Then go to your service box and install a 30 or 40 amp breaker for THAT Black feed wire. That way, in the future, other people will not try to use the fake 50 amp for a 50 amp RV, but if they see the 30 amp plug only they will realize the limitation. Better to do it correctly the first time. It will not take that much extra to wire the 30 amp plug, probably the same time. Doug
