30 Amp cord?

[socoguy]

Hi. We have 50Amp service, however, it is not often needed. We currently run only one AC. Question do any of you travel with two power cords (50 & 30 Amp). The 50 can be a bear to wrestle into storage (especially in foul weather). I am sure this is posted somewhere but would appreciate feedback. Thanks.

I don't think you can put a 30A power cord on the 50A trailer hookup but you can get a 50A to 30A dogbone adaptor like the one below. I carry one but have only used it at our storage place.

coil your 50 amp cord into a tub. I actually use a tall rectangular one then fold the patio rug and put it on top of the cord. The cord is much easier to put in the basement if it all contained.

I have actually 3 power cords. I have the stock 50A 30' with the Marinco detachable connector on the RV end. I also have an 1' adapter that plugs into the RV and goes to a 30A extension cord, look up Marinco 124ARV. That allows me to use the 30A extension cord when I don't want to mess with the "Moose". I also have a Marinco adapter that goes to a regular 15A plug so I can use a 12 or 14ga regular extension cord when the AC's are not needed or when hooked up at the house and only the converter and refrigerator are being used.



Multiple choice but I like it as the 50A cord is a pain.

Ditto I have all three as well, do lots of rough camping and use the 15amp cord most of the time as the toaster and coffee makeris about the heaviest draw we will have on the system.

You can never have enough cords or adapters !

X2 on adapters water, sewer and electrical. I have a bucket full of them but still do not always have what is needed.

Thanks to all of you. I do carry a 15amp cord and adapter and have a dogbone. I also use a plastic tub to wrap and store the 50. So it has all been said , I will go ahead and get a 30 amp cord and complete the set. Thanks. Happy trails to all!

We also carry a couple of 25' 30A cords with Marinco twist lock connectors and the 50 x 30 adpaters. In additlion, we have a 90' 30 amp cord with twist locks on one end and a "dryer" connection on the other for when we stay at one of the kids house we can run one of the A/Cs.
