Mr_D
There are 2 "out of phase" 120VAC 30A lines coming from my 6.3 KW Onan.
Since most 240 VAC dryers need less than 30A, 50A is not necessary.

But since neither you or I intend to use a 240V...

You are correct that a 30A or less shore line will only provide 120V.

However, in most RVs everything operates on 120VAC.

Most "50A RVs" need/use the 2 120V lines from a...

[QUOTE=mgtr;1862975]Another way to look at it is that 30 amps is 30% of 50 amps.
