Plugging in at Home

[notnsuv]

I have 100A service to my shop but only the standard 3-prong outlets. Can I adapt 50A RV plug down to use these for power or do I need to install a 50A outlet.

Thanks.

Just get a 50 to 30 adapter and use a 20A adapter with that. That's how I hook up my 2000W Honda generator.

Or you could just get one of these and eliminate lugging out the 50 amp cord and 2 other adaptors.

I use one of these http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-14381-...amp+RV+adapter

with one of these http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-14101-...15+amp+adapter

They do double duty. I also carry a 30 amp cord that I use for one nighters. Much easier than dragging out the 50 amp cord for an over night stop. It can also be used as an extension if my 50 amp cord isn't long enough but I am limited to 30 amps in that case.

I also carry one of these in case there is only 50A available but I just want to use the 30 amp cable.

It's not difficult to add a 30a or 50a breaker to your elec panel if you have an open slot. For about $30 you can get an RV outlet box from Home Depot or Lowe's and have enough power to run A/C, TV etc and use the camper for a guest room (or dog house) if needed.

Hi All....BRAND NEW Newbie here just got home with our new Reflection 295RL. All I have to plug into is a 20/15 AMP home circuit. Can I use a 50 AMP to 110V converter cable and just leave that plugged in to keep the batteries topped off? Never turn on the AC, etc....I just want to be able to level and hitch it up at this point. Can someone give me a answer? Thanks in Advance......'The Newbie".....

15A will run one AC and charge the batteries. Just did it to stress test the new AC.

Hi,
I have a 2018 Imagine 2800BH that we got about 3 months ago in January. I've had it plugged in at home with the long cord coming out of the RV to the surge protector to the 30 to 15 amp dogbone to a 15 amp home outlet. The battery shows the 3rd light at 2/3 charge at home, but 100% on a 30amp at a campground. At home, the outlets don't work, but they do on the 30amp at the campground. Haven't tested the A/C at home (it's covered due to trees).
I don't really have a problem. Just curious if this is by design that the outlets don't work and the battery doesn't show a full charge when using a 15amp connection?

Thanks !!
