Plugging in to house electric

[Onyrlef]

I'm not sure what that even means - I can't relate it to anything I posted.

This "discussion" has been all over the place. I understood the OP's post to be asking why he wasn't getting power to all the circuits in his RV. That goes directly to how the RV is being connected to shore power, and what kind of shore power is available.

I assure you and "Gary" that I need no schooling on 30 amp vs 50 amp RV operation or load shedding. We've owned both over many years. I'm familiar with all the adapters out there, and I have personally installed a 50 amp power outlet to power our current 50 amp motorhome - it's worked fine.

A properly schooled person would know you can run a 50 amp Tiffen w/three air conditioners on 30 amp if you shed some load.

If you have a thirty amp plug at home this may work

You need TWO 30A outlets to make that work properly. Each of those 30A plugs feeds only half of the 50A outlet, so both are needed to give power to all the RV's branch circuits.

You need TWO 30A outlets to make that work properly.

The one shown has one 30A/120V plug and the other is a 15A/120V plug for a standard house outlet. That can work as long as the user understands that some circuits are more limited than others. There are also variants of that connection which have two 30A plugs so that a 50A RV can operate L1 & L2 on different 30A outlets. It still doesn't supply as much possible power as does one 50A-120/240 outlet can.

I have a device like that.... There are like two places I've parked it can be used.

Thanks for the info on adapters. I’ll check it out.

We replaced the adapter and that fixed our problem. Thx!

@Karand58 did you ever get it working right or figure out the issue?

Yea we just replace the adapter and all outlets and frig microwave etc worked fine.
