Use 30 AMP in 50 Post?

[Mike_Leslie]

We are going to a new campground that advertises 50 AMP service in all sites. Does that mean we can't use our 30 AMP? We don't have 50.

Or would they have 30 and 50???

I just bought a 50-30 adapter. I now use it when 50A is available. nice to have! One question I have and I can`t find anywhere....is the one leg of the adapter dead or did they tie the 2 legs together when they go from 50A to 30A?

Bought the adapter but haven't used it yet. Booked into a 50 amp site, this summer, but found the pedestal also had 30 amp receptacle. Good to have on hand, though, in case you get the worn out 30 amp.

Only once, in 14 years, have I stayed in a CG that had only 50A hookups. At that time I didn't have an adapter. The office loaned me a 50 to 30 adapter, no cost.

50 to 30 Adapter

Chances are that they will have 30 AMP available, but you should always carry an adapter just in case!

i always use a 50 amp adapter and outlet as I know this way I will get a solid 30 amps. many 30 amp outlets are worn and only give you 26 to 28 amps.

Most will have both. But to be safe, go buy a 50->30 adapter. You may never need it, but good to have if you do.
