Question:
Iam running a 30 amp trailer and I want to buy a 50 amp watchdog surge protector. Is it safe to use a 30/50 amp dog bone converter with the 50 amp watchdog?

Expert Reply:
When purchasing a Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth - 30 Amp Item # HU97FR you want to match the amperage of your RV so since yours is 30 amp you won't want the 50 amp surge protector.
You'll plug your 30 amp trailer cable to the # HU97FR and then hook it to a 30 amp to 50 amp adapter like the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter - 30 Amp Female to 50 Amp Male - 12" Long Item # A10-5030FHVP and then hook that to the 50 amp power pedestal.
