My Quixote has four 30 amp plugs. Help! Everything I've found while researching only mentions one plug for power.
Very cool! Just spent some time checking out their site since you mentioned it. Now I'd like to see some interior pics of the trailer!Was this RV originally built for movie/TV studio use on back lots or on location? Quixote has been building those for many years, and most are custom built to the buyer's specifications. Those Square D surge protectors for instance, are not commonly used in the retail RV market.
I've worked on a few Quixote's over the years, but I've never owned one. The ones I worked on were trailers used on photo or ad shoots, and no two were alike. Some of them had large onboard generators in the 10-20 KW range that were used to power cameras and lighting equipment or other trailers on set. One trailer was custom built as a craft services kitchen plus six bathrooms and showers. That one had three 100 gallon waste tanks...Very cool!

The site had some specs on current trailers with fairly large onboard generators. Does yours have a large generator too? Maybe those are just outlets wired directly to the generator?
Wonder who slept in your trailer? I'd go with a story about someone famous as opposed to make a production assistant or makeup artist .
No generator is going to have a live male plug for its power output - that would be almost guaranteed to be fatal to someone. Therefore power outlets are always female for that reason. Thus those 3 outlets on the trailer would have to be power sources rather than inlets for external power.Or the trailer could be powered by one or more portable generators by plugging the 30 amp cords directly into them.
Obviously not. The first photo shows at least two power cords going directly to those outlets. These are undoubtedly meant to connect to an an external power source, then the trailer plugs into the sockets. The male plugs on the trailer cord(s) could go directly to an external generator instead.No generator is going to have a live male plug for its power output - that would be almost guaranteed to be fatal to someone.

I would be interested to know where you found technical information on the one that you have? I found the Quixote website, but there was nothing at all about the tech specs on them. I must say that I was not aware that they made an RV but have seen the "Honey Wagon" version and several different bunkhouse versions but none of the motorized rigs.Everything I've found while researching only mentions one plug for power.
