2008 Bounder with 50 AMP Service?
OK, a silly newbe question and am hoping one of you fine gentlemen can help me out.
I have a 2008 Bounder that has 50 AMP hook-up. I am also in the process of having a new storage garage built and I want it wired tor the Bounder.
My dumb question is this, is the voltage 110 or 220?
Thanks for your help,
Lon

You aren't required to use 50 amp while its in storage but its nice to have if you want to run both A/C's and lots of other stuff.
I store mine at home and its connected to 30 amp service because that was already available. That keeps the batteries topped off, the refer running and I can run the A/C's if nothing else is on.

Be sure to look at the detail pcurt provided before wiring your shore power.
Best of luck...

Yes.
The voltage is 120VAC between either of the 2 hot legs and neutral. The voltage is 240VAC between the 2 hot legs. It's called 120/240 split phase AC.

Sorry, I should have provided better instructions.
You only really need 50amps when you are trying to run all your stuff at the same time. Your Fleetwood has a very good system for controlling electrical power when you have less than 50 amps. I have "camped" with a 20amp connection and was able to run one air, refrigerator and water heater.
