Question:
My RX is 50 amp. I have a 50 amp surge protector but the campground I’m going to only has 30 amps. Can I plug into the 30 amp outlet using my dog one adapter and then plug the surge protector in?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use your RV that has a 50 amp outlet with a 30 amp power source by using the dog bone adapter like the part # A10-3050FHVP. You'd just have to make a note that you have a lower amount of amperage available for your accessories.
The # CAM55301 that you referenced can be used and will help prevent you from drawing more than 30 amps.
