30 Amp RV Elec to 15/20 Amp House (dont do this at home). Spending the weekend at a friends and so in 86 degrees AC is important. So I hooked up to my Buds electric. just used the 30 AMP adapter to a outside heavy-duty (make sure short and at least 15) EXTENSION Cord to his outlet outside. Make sure to keep all appliances in the MH off and the the ckt break for the outlet you are using when plugging into the Motorhome. So far working ok.

you need a 10 gauge extension cord or you will have too much heat and will melt your plug

I will check it out. Pretty sure you can though. I had over 600 watts left while running the AC

10/3 extension cord would definitely be the better choice. You did a good job on this video.

This is what we do- we just unplugged our microwave and only use our ac when it's hotter than 80- about a month out of the year in the pnw. No problems with electricity so far and the outlet and plug stay nice and cool. The adapter we have is a right angle male so we just plugged directly into in outdoor GFI instead of using an extension

How long is your extention cord? I would use one as short as possible. Also it nees to be a at least a 10 gauge recommended for 20 amps. Ck with your local lowes shop. Let me know please how it goes.

Why do I need a shorter extension cord?
@winged99
@winged99 3 года назад
Any time you're running a lot of amps, the resistance of the cord itself starts to have a huge effect on how much power you can use at the end. For instance, you can run Christmas lights off off a 100 ft cord without thinking about it, but if you've got a 120v stick welder, your going to plug that directly in or run a very short, very heavy extension cord (measured in gauge, which is counter intuitive as the thickness, and amount of amps it can carry goes up as the gauge goes down).

I AM NOT A ELECTRICIAN. However, to do so, most RVs will require at least a 30/50 amp and a 15/20 amp electrical outlet. I AM NOT A ELECTRICIAN.

Turn off all appliances in the rv then connect the house to the dog bone then the dog bone to the rv. Once your connected to the house your good to go. REMMEMBER I AM NOT A ELECTRICIAN DONT DO AS I DO SO WHAT THE PROF DO.

Thank you for this informative video, But, I do have 2 questions: 1) Why would you need to turn off the piwer from the house electrical box ? 2) How is it that you'll have enough power to run the A/C, when you connect it to a 30/15 amp cord, Wouldnt the A/C put out too much power ?
@StarboardBow
@StarboardBow 3 года назад
Both good questions. I turn off the inverter so that when I plug the rv to the house using the 15 to 30 adapter I dont blow any fuses or circuits in the house. I'm not a electrician but I read that somewhere.
@StarboardBow
@StarboardBow 3 года назад
As for the AC. You'll have enough power when connected to the home elec. Make sure to use at least a 15 amp extention cord thick ones.
