Plugging 30A 5th wheel into 50A service
Will I have any problems if I plug my 30A fiver into 50A service at a RV park. I will not be drawing any more than 30A, but the park says I should pay $50 deposit to rent a "box" from them.

Just remember that you will have a 50 breaker feeding #10 30amp rated cable, so if you have a problem ahead of the trailers 30 main breaker, you could have an electrical fire risk. Chris
But you can only draw 30A regardless of 50A service.....cause over 30A trailer main 30A breaker will trip and no more amp draw
Course what if.....50a receptacle shorted, or plug broke off or tree falls on power pedestal or squirrel chews on cord
.......or the sky falls!!..:R
