Polarity Checkers
Hello everyone. I have a question about using a standard house polarity checker with a 30 amp adapter, to check polarity at the pedestal. I am a new owner of a TT and I have been researching surge...

Ok, let me clarify my question.
I have a standard house current polarity checker. It indicates an open ground, open neutral, open hot, hot/ground reverse conditions. It has three indicator lights that will light up in a certain sequence, depending on the wiring condition of the duplex. It has a 120VAC 15amp three prong on it for use in checking wiring conditions.
I can buy a 15 amp (female) to 30 amp (male) adapter for around $5, and install it on my (house hold) polarity checker.
My question is, can I use this to check for proper 30 amp wiring, (open ground etc.) at the campground pedestal?
Thanks!
To answer your question: Yes, that will work perfectly. (there's no need to make it any more complicated.)
Not a bad idea really. A cheaper why of doing what you want it to do.
