no I did not, I would have had to improve my 4000w generator to a 5500 or 7000w. We do over 50% of our camping w/o any hook-ups, and the cost of generators was too much to handle at this time. Maybe later.

We have two and if the 50a circuit is not available use the one in the living area during the day and the one in the bedroom at night.

Conntek makes a 50 Amp female x 15 Amp male (14422 RV Pigtail) that you could use to power the frig, TV, converter. A little pricey at $54.95 on Amazon, but about the cheapest I found anywhere.

Guess I was lucky. My dealer included the adapters when he sold me my rig.

Did you have the second a/c installed at time of purchase or was it an aftermarket installation?

Home Depot has a 50 to 20amp adapter on their web site for around $8. Says it is web only not in stores.

Big difference between the Connectek and the Home Depot. The Connectek plugs into the RV and eliminates the 50A cord and allows use of a 15A extension cord. With the HD version you still have to lug around that huge 50A cord. I have 2 of the Connectek's, one that goes to a 30A RV plug and the other goes to a regular 15A. I use the 15A at the house when all I want to do is keep the fridge going and the battery charged. The 30A RV is for when we go out and don't need both AC's or a campground with only 30A service. I have a 30' 30A RV extension cord which is a lot easier to haul around (left over from the last TT).
My electrical tub is filling up, stock 50A cord, 50A extension cord, 30A extension cord, 15A extension cord. And adapters to about any way I want to go. |
