Re: Now we are thinking TT over MH.. need opinions
It's a real pain to not have a toad with a MH. Each time you leave a campsite, you must unhook utilities and secure all inside loose objects. With a TT, you only do that when when you leave at the end of your stay. I put a topper on my PU so have lots of storage.307Views0likes0CommentsRe: 50 amp to 30 amp

So you may have some outlets and items that won't have power. I expect that each of your ACs is on separate busses. However, the dogbone adapters split the available 30 amps between the two legs in the RV. You shouldn't have any problems with outlets or appliances not working.

Noooo , not always on campers. Things can get weird and people can have messed with stuff. I wouldn't' hook up anything until you do some checking !!!!! Trust me. As an electrical engineer, this person knows nothing about electricity. Black is ALWAYS negative and red is ALWAYS positive during my 40 years of RVing. Other colors are questionable.128Views0likes0CommentsRe: Battery connection
