In the 3 years we've enjoyed the Winnebago Adventurer, we have never plugged into a 50 amp service. A 30 amp service along with the Adventurer's EMS system has worked very well including running both air conditioner compressors. That's true until a campground has low voltage and this summer we were at some.
Just completed installation of a system which should give good electric protection and maintain proper voltages.
Electric Trail:
1: 30 amp Power Cord terminating with a 50 amp female receptacle wire so both legs are hot.
2: 50 amp Power Cord now terminates with a 50 amp female receptacle (in case I need it).
3: Surge Guard (located in Electrical Compartment) plugged into either 30 or 50 amp Power Cord.
4: Automatic Transfer Switch (now with 50 amp male plug) plugged into Surge Guard.
5: Output from Automatic Transfer Switch now terminates to a 50 amp female receptacle located along side of the Load Center (Circuit Breaker Cabinet).
6: Frank's Super Automatic Voltage Booster plugged into 50 amp female receptacle from Automatic Transfer Switch.
7: Load Center (Circuit Breaker Cabinet) is now wired with a 50 amp male power cable which is plugged into Frank's Super Automatic Voltage Booster.
System Works Great.
1: Can use either 30 or 50 amp power cord without need of an adapter.
2: Surge Guard can easily be removed from system if need be and Automatic Transfer Switch plugged directly into Power Cord.
3: Frank's Super Automatic Voltage Booster can easily be removed from system if need be and power cord from Load Center plugged directly into receptacle from Automatic Transfer Switch.
4: If the Transfer Switch would ever fail, The Load Center can be plugged directly into a Power Cable if need be.
