It is really not recommended for use like that, but the worst that could happen is the breaker on your generator would trip from overload. Give it a try?????

It sounds like you want to get 30A power to your RV by connecting this to three different sources in your house. This is a big no-no! First, it has the wrong plugs on it, so it wouldn't work for that application, and second, even if you could hook it up, you could create a very dangerous situation in your house by shorting out two of the circuits! Install a 30A outlet on your house near where the RV will be parked.

You will be able to run 10 amps from each plug for your total of 30. You need to check the amp rating on what you will be running.

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)

I fear that the other responders didn't understand that you have a 30-amp RV. In my opinion it will NOT work. You would have to buy the 30-amp unit. Progressive Industries great customer service at 919-462-8280 would give you the best answer.

yes--the power is shared to the two hots (so in theory your single 30 amp hot line is being shared between your two 50 amp lines) and neutral is to neutral and ground to ground. The big thing to remember is that on a 50 amp rv line/plug it is really a double throw 50 amp breaker and line which means you are getting 100 amps at 110-120 volt to run all your stuff. When you use this plug you are limiting your power input to a total of 30 amps. You will not trip your breakers but if you turn on too many things you will definately be tripping the pedestal breaker. You are reducing the power input (amperage wise to 30 from 100 which is 1/3 of what you are used to under the normal 50 amp plug up).

There are three plugs but they are as follows:1. Source (from solar panel)2. Battery3. LoadIn theory I guess you could hook the Load up to a second battery if you wanted. However in my situation I simply hook this up to my first battery, then hook up additional batteries in parallel. Keep in mind that when doing it my way, it will act like one big battery. So if you hook up something that is drained, it will not only draw from the charger, it will also draw from any charged batteries in the system. This is also not ideal if you are mixing and matching battery chemistries and sizes. There are three plugs but they are as follows:1. Source (from solar panel)2. Battery3.

It's a 50-amp twist-lock outlet, which is an RV-style outlet. I don't own an RV, but this outlet - with the appropriate cord, of course, - can be plugged directly into an exterior outlet on an RV, and will power interior appliances that do not, collectively, total more than 50 amps. Hope this helps.

It is for a 50amp service rv ( 50 amp both ends) us it to hook a 50 amp rv to 50 amp service.if your rv is 30 amp use the 30 amp adapter dog bone

when you install circuit breakers in your box The main or the top breaker should be only 30 amp ,as all rv parks have 30amp and 50 amp and this power control panel is only set up for a total of 30 amp Hope this helps

Not all 50 amp inlets are made for an RV. Some are made for electric dryers and other things which you do not want to use.... it could be very unsafe. This cord is wired differently... it is for 2 air conditioners (for example) so each will have its own power. Take your cord to an RV dealer or electric supply house to purchase an inlet... they are not very expensive.... then let an electrician install it for you.

Yes! This is exactly what we use it for. We bought the long range 3 pack and it provides power to all 3 no problems.

Not unless you have an RV style 110volt receptacle at your house, they are a unique style plug. When I plug in at home I install a 30amp to 15amp adapter plug on my RV power cable and then just use a good heavy duty standard extension cord.

No need to spilt the circuits. It has a 30 amp input already. I have the style prior to the newer updates. My generator requires a RV style 3 prong adapter, as I use it on my boat. The newer generators have the 30 amp female input built in.

This could be done,but unless you are a licensed electrician, I wouldn't try it. The job would involve separating these circuits at your breaker box and rewiring to a separate switch box. 30 amps would not handle all those appliances. This breaker was probably added to the generator to supply enough power to operate an RV.

If you have a 30 amp rv, why pay almost $100 more for a 50 amp surge protector? Get the 30 amp to match the power requirements of your unit.

I don't see any need to split the 30 amp. Not sure what you wish to do. It has a 30 amp outlet, that takes at special 30 amp plug in and then puts out up to amps depending on what is plugged in. It runs at whatever speed is necessary to supply the electricity you need.

yes, photo of product is wrong - shows 30 AMP. but, i bought this product, 55562, and it is 50 AMP or 4 hole/4 prong. you twist it to lock in receptacle on rv, then tighten ring. i use it because it gives me more flexibility - use with 50 AMP cord or 30 AMP cord with 50 to 30 adaptor. product has been excellent and is high quality. price is good

It is the power requirement for the electrical system in our RV. Some are 30amp, some are 50amp - the type of electrical outlet you plug into at a campground, etc.
