Could Power Defender part # CAM55301 Be Used with 30 to 50 Amp Adapter
Published 10/02/2018
Question:
Hi there, I have a 50 AMP RV connection at home, but a 30 AMP trailer. Can I use a 30 AMP/50 AMP adapter with Surge Protector CAM55301 into the 50 AMP outlet and plug my 30 AMP trailer cable into the surge protector like normal - and be safe in all electrical aspects? Likewise, if I am ever at a 50 AMP only connection would this work? I know the adapter will work, but my concern would be if any 30 AMP appliances try and draw too much power. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
If the power draw was less than 30 amps with the accessories then the Camco Power Defender part # CAM55301 can be used with a 30 amp to 50 amp adapter. Having access to a 50 amp power source though does not mean that much amperage will be pulled through the adapter.
