⚠️⚠️ UPDATE: One thing we forgot to mention and another thing brought up in the comments that are valid concerns:
➡️ EXTENSION CABLES: Be sure to make sure any extension cables you use are rated for 15A. For longer runs like 100ft, these are NOT the cheaper cables. They should be labeled with rated amperage. Also, the longer the cable the more the voltage will drop, so keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't drop below 108v (90% of 120v).
➡️ HOUSEHOLD CIRCUITS: When a household outlet/circuit is rated at 15A, that rating is generally for short term (under 3 hours). The real rating for long term load (over 3 hours) is 80% of the rating. Meaning, on a 15A circuit, if you’re going to run it over 3 hours, you should be at 12 Amps or less. An AC is like long to cycle less than 3 hours anyway, but on a hot day, it’s something to be aware of.
➡️ HEAT: When connected to 15A or 15A+15A and running for about 30 minutes under load, do a check of the entire line from your RV to the adapters, to the extension cables, and to the wall outlet. Do a touch test to make sure the lines and/or connectors are not getting hot.
➡️ 30+30: If you decide to use the 30A plus 30A setup, try to connect them to separate LEGS, not just separate circuits. If you have to connect them on the same leg (still separate circuits), be sure to stay under 50A TOTAL for both legs. The reason is, if you draw the max (30A) on both legs and they are on the same leg in the house, the legs are IN PHASE and will cause 60A on the Neutral line.
➡️ POWER PROTECTION: We HIGHLY recommend using a Surge Guard Total Electrical Protection device (see: • ⚡️🔌 Total RV Power Pro... ), or some type of EMS that validates your power source voltage, frequency, wiring, etc. These are a great safeguard against bad RV park wiring as well as bad household wiring and just plugging things in wrong.

@kevinstenger4334 4 года назад

Nice explanation on a simple level. I’m a master electrician and RV owner so can’t resist a couple of tips. I saw in the comments that a couple of folks mentioned the issue of long cords and the need to upsize the cords. Good catch, but the issue isn’t the amperage (15A on a 10GA cord that is good for 25-30A). The issue is voltage drop. When you are running long cords and multiple connections you are going to have some voltage drop unless your cords are way oversized. If you have a nice power quality/surge protection device on your rig like yours you will be fine because if the voltage drops too much the protective device will just shut off the power to the RV. If you don’t have such a device installed and the voltage drops too much you just start burning things up like electronics and AC compressors. ☹️ The other item you mentioned was when you are connecting to two different circuits and have a GFCI as one or both sources. First off, any outlet you can plug into outdoors or in a garage is required to be on a GFCI. When you connect to a GFCI the amount of current flowing on the hot leg of the GFCI and the amount of current flowing back on the neutral must be exactly the same or the device will trip. The device assumes any current going out that isn’t coming back must be going somewhere it isn’t supposed to such as your body. When you use a cheater cord to feed your 50A/240V RV from two 125V sources there is only one neutral wire in that cord and the neutral current will return through both 125V neutrals causing any GFCI’s in play to trip. I have one of those split cords and the only useful thing I have found for it is when we camp in Michigan state parks they are too cheap to upgrade to 50A services so if nobody is using the other side of the pedestal I use the 30A outlets on both sides.

@ChangingLanes 4 года назад

Good points.. We always keep the video description and blog post updated with just such details. 👍🏼

@supremeautomotive6749 2 года назад

I have tested the voltage drop thing and plugged in multiple 50ft cords and some 100ft cords and didn't see anything different. The cheater cord also works perfectly for a generator

Thank you so much for the information on the electrical hook-up. I have a 43 footer myself and, every time I plug in at the house I pop a circuit breaker. So now I know I can split the poles that will really help when I'm home charging batteries and doing maintenance.

@richkurtz6053 4 года назад

Great info. Not having a 50 amp rig I had not run into the fact that the split system. Another thing about moochdocling, if the site has a septic tank or sewer line with a clean out, you may be able to dump or connect your sewer line as well, saving a trip to the dump station. This might also allow you to fully enjoy your own showers in the rig.

@daddymike20 4 года назад

Changing Lanes- I was just gonna say use a upgrade extension cord. Try to get a 10 gauge extension cord as they can handle 30 amps but that decreases on long runs and you can melt a smaller gauge wire and also risk a fire. I’m an electrician and I’ve also learned from friends melting theirs before I got a motorhome.

@jccourtn 4 года назад

I have a 50 plug on my house but want to use a version of this solution to power my RV about 150 feet away. Would this work at the 50 amp plug: Epicord RV Cord RV Y Adapter Cord 50 Amp Male Plug(14-50P) to 2 Female Connector (50M152F) www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQKJ8M1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_M9dGEb98CQGZ3. It converts the 50 amp to two 15 amps. Or would I overload my neutral as mentioned here???

@boomer16323 4 года назад

At 150 feet, the biggest concern is voltage line loss. It is not a static value. It depends on the end load, starting voltage, Gauge of wires, length of wires. From my Circuit breaker box to my RV was 177' of 12awg cable, Start voltage 125vac, turn on RV refrigerator, converter charging 12vdc, air conditioning, now 100.7vac!

@davemillam6336 3 года назад

One other consideration when moochdocking is the load already on the home or "mooch" circuits existing on the house or garage. You won't want to tie into a circuit that might already be loaded with a high current appliances like a coffee pot, crock pot, microwave, hair dryers or basement sump pump. If you're both using that circuit, its sure to trip the circuit breaker. Look for a lightly loaded circuit in a bedroom or living room area. All in all a great video. I started watching all your videos a couple weeks ago and learned a ton about RVing.

@cynthiafrownfelter-lohrke172 4 года назад

I think this is the best video I’ve ever seen explaining the electrical systems in a motorhome. The main reason is because you have exactly shown the panels that I see and how they relate to the electricity that you’re using. Before, I was always trying to relate to watts Which are not shown on my panel. Thank you so much for this video I am saving it.

@ChangingLanes 4 года назад

It's still good to understand watts, which are just the Amps times the voltage. Using Watts is a good way to "relate" the DC and AC side when using an inverter. Minus some loss in conversion, 3000w is the same on the DC side and AC side. For instance, a 3000w inverter at max would be pulling about 250DC Amps (3000/12) from the batteries and supplying 25 AC Amps (3000/120).

@gidderman 3 года назад

Be careful when running a y-adaptor especially if you are tapping 2 30 amp outlets, you could potentially overload your neutral wire if both 30amp feeds are on the same phase. 50amp rv service is split phase which allows 100 amps to travel through the neutral on (2) 50 amp phases. If you were to hook up a splitter to 2-30 amp connections on the same phase as I mentioned, you could potentially overload your neutral connection at full load. In your case the surge guard may catch this, it may not. Just something to beware of. Also keep in mind you should never run any circuit continuously at any more than 80%, to avoid things getting hot and messing. 15 amp breakers put out 1800 watts, which would be 1,440-1500 continuous use, or 12-13amps max continuous. Here is some more detail on split-phase: www.rvtechmag.com/electrical/chapter3.php

@Rmrelectric 2 года назад

There is also another potential issue with the way they set up their 2- 15 amp circuits from 2 different buildings. They are combining neutrals from 2 different panels ( main house and guest house) if both circuits were from the same house this wouldn't be an issue

@dawnr6577 Год назад

The outlet im plugged into is on a 20 amp breaker. The ac was pulling 13 amps for about 2 hours and the cord started getting a little hot. Is that normal? I shut the ac off because I wasn't sure. I was using the same cords he had so rv cord to 30 amp and 30 amp to 15 amp. No extension cord

Then go to the breaker box and turn off every other breaker on one side until an outlet goes dead.... use that outlet and one that is still on (alive) for your separate extension cords. If you don't find one that goes off, repeat the process on the other row of breakers. Ignore any double breakers because they are connected to both circuits. When storms knock out my power and it becomes obvious that it's not coming back on anytime soon, I get out a generator and TURN OFF the main breaker then plug the generator into an outlet outside so that there are no fumes inside. I use an extension cord with Male plugs on both ends... BEFORE I start the generator....Then I can use another extension cord with two male ends to connect a dead socket to a live socket so both circuits are live. Do NOT plug into the live socket FIRST. The prongs on the end of the extension cord will teach you a lesson about electricity if they are hot.

Woah! This video blew my mind! Being able to use two 15A circuits to my 50A camper had never crossed my mind (newbie here), and I also didn’t know an inverter could do supply extra amps when necessary (I’ll definitely look more into inverters now)! Learned so much in this video! Also, I hadn’t thought of using my friend’s water hose spigot for water supply….!!! Learned so much from this one video!

Thanks again for this video. I had ordered two adapters and neither of them would connect the 50a to 110v 15a.... nor would the one that came with my motorhome to plug 50a to 30a. But once I understood what was going on from your video I was able to take the plug off the heavy duty cord and wire in an extension cord so I could get power to the motorhome charger. I also tested the ac units (one at a time) and they worked. I'll probably just buy a heavier duty extension cord and make this work. I flipped all the breakers off except the one to the charger. I never use the microwave or appliances that run off propane anyway.

I have to agree with what others have said...best tip ever. I just did this here in Mississippi (humid) and now can run 2 a/c's and just about anything else we want. Thxx

Great Video! I Really like the content. You guys have a great set up and super advanced technology in your rig. On the 15/15 split, If You have to go into the house for the second power source, grab a kitchen or Bathroom outlet (they will probably be GFCI). Per the NEC (National Electric Code) both these rooms in your house should be 20 amp circuits. That (15/20) extra 5 amps might save you from resetting the breaker a few times.
