Sarge had a great suggestion recently
http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,111792.0.html
where he made a dogbone to allow his 50A cord to make L1-->L2 and L2-->L1.
This got my slow brain cranking... Is it true that many campgrounds are wired so all 20A and 30A plugs draw from L1, while 50A draws from both L1 and L2? It seems this would cause habitually heavy loads on L1. On my camper, L1 carries both A/C units, converter, and all 120V receptacles while L2 carries electric fireplace, W/D (not installed), microwave and water heater - a MUCH lighter load. Is this loading typical??
Would it be worthwhile to simply flip the Black and Red wires in the EMS so MY camper has A/C, etc on L2? This essentially makes SargeW's adapter the default wiring.
