30 AMP OPS

[jwasnewski]

Hi Folks: Thanks to all of you who responded to my inquiry. I think
each of you have it correct, now I would like a double check,
please. Been out at the bus for cleaning, polishing, inspecting
etc. I studied my maunal on 30 AMP ops. It's rather vague, but here
is what I think.
I have a 30 amp aux connection which powers my Leg 2. My 50amp 240
permanent connector powers everything, both 120 legs. That should be
100amps. The manual calls for having adaptors which I do not have.
I think I can do the following:

1. Purchase a 240 female to fit my permanent 240 male shore cable
and wire one leg in it to a 30amp shore plug. That should give me 30
amps on leg 1 then plug my 30amp aux connection into either another
30amp shore power or 20amp shore power to get 30amps or 20 amps
respectively on leg 2. In my configuration, I think it is the only
way to get 2 legs of any kind of power. My inverter/charger runs off
leg 1. Then I gotta really manage power in the summer.

2. The 240amp female has a ground, a white(neutral) X & Y
connections representing 2 120 legs, I think. I would need to
determine whether X or Y on my permanent shore power cable powers leg
1 in the bus when I wire it to a 30 amp plug.

I do not plan to use this configuration but I would like to be ready
to do so if needed.

I handle 12v very well, 120v not as well. Does the foregoing sound
correct?

So that very faint humming noise I here when everyone is asleep is
the transfer switch. I was about to go searching for the source. Now
I won't.

Thanks again.
