Elec. sys. remodel - suggestions wanted 1984FC35SB
Gary,
On my first bird, a '78FC33, the previous owner had eliminated the 30 amp connectors. I used a 30 to 50 amp shore line at 30 amp sites, and a 50 amp shore line at 50 amp sites. I never found a use for the two 30 amp situation in modern campgrounds. I am sure you could buy/build an adapter for your 50 amp connection to accomodate two 30 amp sources. I see no practical reason for the two 30 amp connectors other than if you hapen to have the two 30 amp shore lines and want to store them. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Al Scudder" > > Coming from my Boating side of my life to RV'in I can tell you that in Boating and at all boating supply houses you can take 2 30 amp outlet to a cheater box to make the 50 amp trip. The box is $$ but they do work. I would not be able to tell you of the reliability when you have a oven micro, charger, hot water heater all come on a the same time for the most part boat marina only have 30 amp services except in very large docks that will accommodate a large vessel. > > Scooter 2000XL Ocqueoc, MI > > From: hippieforever3 > Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 1:45 PM > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Elec. sys. remodel - suggestions wanted 1984FC35SB > > I'm in the early stages of a complete remodel on my 84FC35SB and > first up is the electrical system. > > One thing that would make the design simpler is to disconnect the two > 30A runs and only use the 50A connector with a "cheater" adapter on > the 50A cord. > > If I understand this correctly the only downside to this is if you > hook up to shore power you will be limited to 30A MAX and never have > the infrequently used option of connecting to two separate 30A > supplies.
