Location: Tenn/Ala. | You are correct- the trailer industry standard is the 30 amp RV plug. It utilizes 3 conducters, and is the standard in campgrounds also. Yes, she'll want to carry a 30-15 adapter with her to plug in to a regular duplex recep, but that will usually be at home.
The only time we generally see a 50 amp is when there are 2 roof ACs installed. |

Location: western PA | Many of the moderate sized trailers have a 30 amp entrance, and most of the camping grounds and shows we frequent, are set up for the 20 amp adapters and service. We have learned not to use more than one heavy drawing appliance at a time, when plugged into these services. If the AC is on, a hair dryer or microwave isn't used until the air is deselected. Some of the receptacles have breakers at the pole which are easy to reset. Others have to involve the managers and are sometime located in another area. Learning what works in your LQ within the varying sources, will lessen the chances of you being inadvertently without power. Once our family was able to learn how much power it takes to run the different appliances, and which can work concurrently, things began to run much more smoothly without interruptions. This is best practised at home. |
