• Hooking Up Surge Protector for 30 Amp Camper to Plug Into 50 Amp Power Source
  If your camper is wired for 30 amps I highly recommend using a 30 amp surge protector. The potential issue with using a higher-rated 50 amp surge protector is that it wouldn't be triggered soon enough to protect any appliances you have that are rated for 30 amps. To hook up your 30 amp camper to a 50 amp power source you will want to first connect a 30 amp voltage protector (like the Camco # CAM55301 for a reseting protector or # CAM55312 for a one-time-use protector) to the camper.

• What Does Amp Rating Mean For Transfer Switch & Can 30 Amp Work w/ 50 Amp Shore Power
  The 30 amp or 50 amp is just the power the transfer switches are rated for in order to match the 30 amp or 50 amp power that RV's are rated for. So in general, if your RV is rated for 50 amps, you use the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp - 125/250V # F50ATS, and if it is rated for 30 amps, you use the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 30 Amp - 120V # F30ATS. That said, you can use a 30 amp system and transfer switch with 50 amp shore power, you just need to use a power cord...

• Surge Protectors for 30 Amp and 50 Amp Power Sources for RV
  I wish there was a circuit protector that could cover both amperage ratings but you'd have to have a 30 amp protector like the part # CAM55301 or the # CAM55306 for a 50 amp setup. For a 30 amp female to 50 amp male adapter you'd want # A10-5030FHVP.

• Does 50A Male to 30A Female Power Adapter Have Acces to 50A Power
  The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter # A10-5030FHVP won't be providing two 120V legs rated for 50A - it will be limited to one side. With that being said, I highly recommend having a surge protector rated for 30A installed as well just to make sure you don't blow any fuses or damage anything. This adapter doesn't work as a limiter as well so you'll technically still have access to 50A worth of power. If you don't already have one I recommend checking out the Power Watchdog Surge Protector...
