We recently purchased our 2006 PF30CK and love it. I have a question about the electrical service on it though. It shows 110/220 on the outlet, is that just a generic outlet or can this be hooked up to 220 service? I ask this because I have my welding outlet near my garage door which is 30amp 220. Also, it's a 50amp service but I have adapters that came with it for 50-30amp and 30-15amp. What can be run on the 30 and 15 amp? I know I can put the fridge on gas but will I still be able to run the a/c?

There are no manuals that came with the RV aside from what they had for theafter marketthings they put in.

Is there a way to download a manual?

no, you don't have 220, and whatever you do don't plug into it....you have 50 amp service, and I have all the same adapters, you can't run the A/C on a 30to15 amp, you can run some interior lights, and you can run your fridge to cool it down, other than that you can't do anything else, I keep mine plugged into a 15amp plug to keep my battery charged...

You can run one AC unit and probably one other major appliance (water heater, microwave) on 30 amp. You can't run 2 AC units if you have two.







15 amps is not going to get you much other than lights and a TV or stereo. Edited by: Hunter11

Since you have 1 A/C unit, like I do, you can run it and most other items. You just have to be carefull when the A/C is on and the water heater is on using electric. If you try the microwave or a hair dryer or a curling ironat the same time as thewater heater and A/C,you will kick out a breaker. My wife put this to the test many times. If you have the single pole dual breakers I would try to isolate the A/C to it's own 20amp breaker. Fortunately my Paradise Point was originally made with 30amp service and 50 amp was added later with a separateelectricalbox in the battery compartment. Since I will never be using a 2nd A/C I moved it to the front electrical box on a 20 amp breaker and have had no problems running everything all at once. Enjoy your Paradise Point, we have had great luck with ours.

This is what I was talking about where it lists 120/240Vac and I was wondering if this was ready to accept a 240Vac connection.


There is a 2nd 20 Amp for Second Air Conditioner which as you can see from the pic below I do not have. And there is the Washer And Dryer (which we don't have equipped) that is crossed out and as best I can make out it says Converter.


Do you think the entire electrical was replaced?

I'm seeing now from the photo that it looks like someone put a different sticker over the original sticker which probably explains the Second Air Conditioner and Washer Dryer thing. Is the Second Air Conditioner then an Open circuit?
