electrical plug

[chuckiehm]

Could someone tell me what a typical 30 amp trailer park electrical hook looks like. I've seen turnlocks and plugs with a ground an two angled prongs. I have a 1963 Kenskill with no wiring. I also see 30/50 amp plugs. It looks like the receptacle at the trailer has to be male.

Thanks

I'm no expert on vintage trailers but a typical CG 30 amp hook up is the two angled prongs with a ground... no twist lock.

Good luck...

The 30A cable end you need looks like this



it's available at most big box home improvement stores. Another option might be to buy a 30A extension cord from the RV section at Walmart, then you could just cut off the female end and wire it up to your trailer.

Click the link and scroll down to the "TT-30" connector

From the web page:
NEMA TT–30 (TT stands for Travel Trailer) is a 30 A, 125 V recreational vehicle standard (hot-neutral-ground) which may also be known as RV 30.

Jus for clarity, the TT-30 also looks like a 30 A dryer plug. In fact the plugs are identical, it the way they are wired. The TT-30 is wired as a 30 A 120 V circuit, the dryer plug is 30 A 240V.

Don't every plug a 30 A RV plug into a dryer outlet, unless you want to replace all of the appliances and electronics.

Is there a way to hook the RV to your home current other than hooking up a 30 amp plug?

ETA: NM, I looked it up and answered my own question.
