I was just reading an RVing couple's blog, mentioning how their protector showed that a campground's 50 amp plug they plugged into had an open neutral. Without the protector this would have put 220 volts on their 110 volt RV appliances and devices, probably frying most of them. Their solution was to connect to the 30 amp outlet. This made me think, if we (most of us) don't have a 2nd air conditioner, why plug into the 50 amp outlet anywhere??? As far as I know, the 2nd air conditioner is all the 2nd phase on a 50 amp outlet powers. So why even run the risk of an open 50 amp neutral, when you don't use the extra 50 amp capacity? Just use a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter on your supplied trailer power cord all the time.
