Just bought my first motorhome a few days ago. Its a 1973 dodge sportsman - western commander. On the side it reads "this connection is for 110-125 volt ac service/ 60 cycle service do not connect to higher voltage"
Im goin to be living in this motorhome but I know little about them and less about electricity. It seems most sites offer electrical hookups at 20, 30, or 50 amps. I dont know which of these if any I could plug my mh into..can anyone help?
Volts are different from Amps (Watts = Volts x Amps). "60 cycle" is 60 Hz or 60 cycles/second and that is typical. If the plug on your camper looks like it will go in to a normal outlet, it is 20 A. The two pop-ups I had plugged in to standard outlets. If it doesn't, it is 30 A. Unless your electrical system has been re-done, it will not be 50 A in a 1973 camper.
