To connect to a TT-30 receptacle (30A, 120V) sometimes found in campgrounds and RV parks, there seem to be two options: 1. AC WORKS® [G2EVTT30-24A] Gen 2 EV Charging NEMA TT-30 Adapter For Gen. II Tesla Mobile Connector -- plugs directly into the mobile connector for 24A 120V charging. 2...
My dryer at my house is 30 amp. My rv is 30 amp. When the rig is parked at the house can I unplug the dryer and plug the rv into that outlet safely. Years ago someone told me not to use the 30 amp dryer outlet for my rv but didn't elaborate why. Anyone know? Thanks, Donna.
Maybe thinking you will just plug the RV into it? You will need to go the hardwire-your-own route for that. You might find a model with twin 15A outlets that are in-phase so you can parallel them with an adapter to get 30A/120v. If your plan is to plug the RV into the inverter, know that you need to disable the onbaord converter/charger when ...
A 30 amp RV outlet is 120V only outlet wired L1, Neutral and ground a 50 amp RV outlet is wired 120/240V with 4 wires, L1, L2, Neutral and ground Crossing wires using a 50 amp to 30 amp RV adapter, then plugging it into a 240V only 3 wire old style dryer outlet could likely result in bad things.
A 30 amp TT plug and receptacle are a poor design. If you look at the length of the blade that has wear or scratch marks from mating with the receptacle you will find it is only about one quarter inch or slightly more, and coupled with the corners of the blades being lopped off and the hole, the contact area is minimal, provided it is fully ...
The plug and receptacle are rated for 15 amps, so the entire cable, even if 1 or 2 ga., must be rated for 15 amps. We RVers know what a 30 amp plug looks like, but most people have never seen a 20 amp plug. Hint, it looks like a 15 amp plug with 1 blade horizontal.
The TT-30 plug is not strictly water-proof, but where we are, the TT-30 RV connections have the boxes with the flip-up covers that prevent water from landing directly on the outlet/plug when in use. The 14-30 has a place to hook it onto the electrical box, hopefully under the same flip-up cover that protects the outlet.
4) If the pedestal breaker isn't tripping and the RV breaker isn't tripping then the obvious conclusion is that the power being drawn isn't over 30 amps. Now, what to do. A) Keep the plug contacts clean and shiny using steel wool or fine sandpaper or emery cloth. B) Seat and remove the plug in the receptacle several times.
A 20 amp to 30 amp adapter is also handy for plugging into standard 15/20 amp outlets at home. Both adapters are readily available in the RV section at Walmart or on Amazon. Oh, and the plug used on the park end of 30 amp RV power cords is a NEMA TT-30P (linked below). The 50/30 adapter is useful for those rare campsites that have a 50 amp ...
Feed the shed from the park pedestal via a 50 amp plug, just like a trailer uses. Inside the shed, put a 240 volt 30 amp socket for the dryer, a 120 volt 20 amp socket for the washer, and a 30 or 50 amp receptacle to plug in the trailer. Each fed from an appropriately sized breaker.
