We are looking at a 50 amp TT. When in a park that does not have 50 amp service , what do you do. Install the 30 amp plug with a 50 amp female.
What about the surge protector. Do you use the 30 amp?
Will we need to carry both , a 50 and 30 amp surge protector?
Thanks

Get a 50/30 and a 30/20 adapter to cover all plugs.

Highly recommend that you get a full 50A power protector like the PI HW50C or the portable unit. Besides high/low voltage and other faults it protects against a open neutral which is very important on 50A. It works with the above adapters.

yes u can use a 50 surge.

just wanted to add, i also use a HA Hughes Autoformer to keep the volts at a safe level at some older CG's .
I use the SP into the pedestal then the HA , i feel the SP protects the HA , then combined, they both protect the RV .

Your surge protector should work for both situations.

Never used a surger protector.
Yes, carry a 50/30 dog bone adapter. Also carry a 50/20 adapter for those rare occasions.
