30amp power cord

[tim1970]

I was wondering if anybody that has an RV wired for 50amp service carries a 30amp cord for when they know they will be at a campsite that only supports 30amps. It seems like it would be better than having to use the large 50amp cord. I guess I also need to know if you can even buy a 30 amp cord that will plug into an RV designed for 50 amps. (Is the connector the same?)

Thanks

I carry a 50' 30A cord in my 50A DP for times when only 30A is offered. My EMS ensures I don't pull more than that in those situations. The connectors are not the same, so I carry adapters as well. In one unusual situation, I had to use both my 50A and 30A cords to reach a pedestal not very close to my RV for power in a longer site.
