Re: Needing help with electrical plug
KD4UPL wrote: You really don't want to use that 3 prong outlet for your RV. It is a 240v 50A outlet with no neutral. The 3 wires are 2 hots and a ground. For an RV you need a 4 wire connection with a separate neutral and ground. There shouldn't be a ready made adapter. It is possible to use the ground for the neutral and make it work but it's not advisable at all. It could pose a rather large safety hazard. By the way, 50 amp RV outlets are not 50A 120v; they are 50A 240/120v split phase. Thats all i needed, Thank ya391Views0likes0CommentsNeeding help with electrical plug
I just bought a new trailer.. Its not a camper/TT.. its a car hauler, however... it is wired for 50a service. My garage is wired for 50a service but with a different plug. Trailer has a 4 prong plug, looks like this - https://www.gexpro.com/shopimages/gexpro/P/S/3/PS_3867_IMAGE_ZM.jpg The outlet in my garage looks like this- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41xgA8DDz2L._SX300_.jpg Any one of you helpful folks know of the right cord i need to plug my 4 pronger into to turn it into a 3 pronger? I have found one... But its over $80. (what the..) http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-50-Amp-Electric-Vehicle-Adapter/dp/B00STD8SEU Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I have bought a 50a to 15a converter to allow me to simply plug in a everyday extension cord, i have basically the same thing for our TT.. I would like to take advantage of my garage being wired with 50a service though. Thanks -Sean3.2KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Thinking about selling our TT..
Its the fever thing.. This is how we got started.. When i was about...10 years old. So quite some time ago. My parents had bought a mobile home that was in a camp ground. There are other trailers there also, and campers. This trailer was on one of the major lakes here in Illinois. About a 45-50 minute drive from home.. eventually, i grew and it was just my fiance and i visiting the place each weekend. One day my wonderful Mother tells me they are selling the place.. and about 5 days later its gone. We had no time to gather any cash or to even discuss that my Fiance and I wanted the place.. So it was gone, awesome spot, great trailer, on the water, all gone. Ever since then my Fiance and I had constantly told our selves we would be back.. we'd find our own place.. Well, one day, here we go.. We are on craigslist and find a camper on the other side of the lake. Turn key with a golfcart, set up on a campsite and "good" to go. I bought it, and it was a nitemare. So 3 months later, i found another camper in excellent condition and had to have it. We gave up our camp site due to the guy running the place is a complete a-hole. Now, here we are, or me.. here i am..Wondering what we will do next season. How often will we use the thing.. On and on..280Views0likes0CommentsThinking about selling our TT..
Yeah... Thinking about posting our TT up for sale. We have kind of lost our steam you could say.. First time camper owners the middle of this past summer. First camper, we owned it for about 3 months before selling it. Bought a 97 i think, jayco designer. 30 footer, bumper pull. Bought from the original owners.. Its in pristine condition for the most part. This thing is everything we wanted minus about 7ft in length. We have 3 dogs, we gave up our permanent/seasonal spot. So now the trailer is winterized/parked in my Dad's backyard. I just dont think we are going to get to use it much this coming up year. With 3 dogs, it'll be a hassle. Loading up and towing it someplace for the weekend or a night. We've tossed around the idea of getting another seasonal spot and parking it, but im not sure... Im just loosing interest altogether. We're young, im 26, she's 29..We have many years ahead of us to find another camper of our dreams. Anyone else ever felt the same way during "off season"?5KViews0likes30CommentsRe: Fading Cap Solution with LineX?
LineX blows. I spray bedliner for a living. Dont do it. Well..do what you want, but LineX is not a good product. I cant imagine it lasting long in such a location on an RV. The stuff fades extremely fast it seems also, and thats with it in a bed.576Views0likes0Comments
