Power adapters

I am new R-pod owner and it requires 3 amp connection when I hook up. Can I use a 30 Amp to 50 Amp adapter if all the campsites only have 50 Amp connections?

Absolutely. You just need the proper adapter, commonly referred to as a "dogbone " (do to its looks). There are several different ones though. You want the 50 amp male to 30 amp female one.

It is often desirable to use the 50 amp receptacle on the pedestal if available, due to it usually being in better condition than the 30 amp due to usage.
