You have no idea how many times customers come in with complaints about overloading their 30 amp RV. Get the 50 amp service and then just use a 50 to 30 adapter with a 30 amp extension cord. It is BETTER to have MORE power to utilize than to NOT have that extra power and then grumble about it. Doug
How does having a 50A RV connected to 30A shore power give you any more power than a 30A RV? So you trip the breaker at the pedestal instead of the one inside the RV?
It does NOT get you more power. My comment was for people that do not want the stiffness of a 50 amp cord. Use the 50 to 30 adapter with the 25 foot 30 amp extension cord. As to the MORE power. THAT comment was for people that do NOT opt for the optional 50 amp service panel on the RV (if it is an option). Doug
