30 amp or 50 amp?

Nigels · 02-16-2011, 02:01 PM

I found this link RV Electric very useful but a bit scary at the same time.

I will be definitely be bringing my tester to test the CG supply.

We only collect our new Sig UL 8280ws in April does any one know if our new rig is wired 30 amp or 50 amp?

I use this device before hooking up at a 20 or 30 amp service at a campground: Shop IDEAL Analog Multimeter GFCI Receptacle Tester at Lowes.com

Don't leave home without it.

I assume both of you have the 30 amp RV adapter to regular 110v plug in then plug this unit into that? Just want to make sure.

Yes. Also, the unit that I linked to has a GFI check switch. Push the button, and it should trip the GFI. The problem is that most campgrounds do not have 30 amp GFIs.....but they usually do o the 20 amp plug.

It'll be 30 amp unless you opted for the 15K Btu A/C and/or the pre-wiring for the 2nd A/C unit.

Thanks Dave (again). No we did not go for either of those options so 30amp it will be, as far as I can see from the link it is potentially less risky than the 50amp system.

By the way we are hoping to go to the FROG Branson meet but have not confirmed yet, we need to collect the rig and make sure there are no issues first, are you considering going?

No, we aren't attending as it did't fit with our camping plans.
