  • Using a 30 Amp Power Watchdog Surge Protector With 50 Amp Service
  • You can use an adapter such as the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter Plug for 50 Amp Female to 30 Amp Male, # A10-3050AVP to use a 50 Amp surge protector with a 30 Amp power pedestal, but you cannot use a 50 Amp power pedestal to a 30 Amp service RV or surge protector.

  • Can 30 Amp RV be Powered from 50 Amp Power Source
  • It's very common for people to use a 50 amp power source on a 30 amp camper like what you are trying to do. Basically you'd want to use the 30 amp surge protector after the dogbone 50 amp to 30 amp adapter like the part # A10-5030FBK that you referenced. This protects your 30 amp RV from overdrawing.

  • Recommended Power Adapter and Surge Protector for 50 Amp Campsite to 30 Amp RV Connection
  • You have it correct. From the RV connection, you will use the 30 amp female to 30 amp male power cord like # A10-3025ED90. Then you will have your 30 amp surge protector like # CAM55312 for single surge or # CAM55301 for multiple surge with automatic reset which is what I recommend. Then you can use an adapter like the Mighty Cord Dogbone RV Power Cord Adapter - 30 Amp Female to 50 Amp Male - 12" # A10-5030FBK to connect to the campsite power service.

  • Hooking Up Surge Protector for 30 Amp Camper to Plug Into 50 Amp Power Source
  • If your camper is wired for 30 amps I highly recommend using a 30 amp surge protector. The potential issue with using a higher-rated 50 amp surge protector is that it wouldn't be triggered soon enough to protect any appliances you have that are rated for 30 amps. To hook up your 30 amp camper to a 50 amp power source you will want to first connect a 30 amp voltage protector (like the Camco # CAM55301 for a reseting protector or # CAM55312 for a one-time-use protector) to the camper. Then...

  • Campground Power Is Providing Overvoltage and Causing The Camper To Shut Down Power
  • The Progressive Dynamics PD9200 Series Battery Converter Charger # PD9280A only takes 120 volt power and converts it to 12 volt to run 12 volt accessories such as the awning, vent fans and lights. Since you mentioned you tested the battery and it is good then it sounds like your current converter is operating correctly. While the Hughes Autoformers Voltage Booster # HU57FR does not protect from overvoltage the Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU27FR does and if you are using them together...

  • Will Covercraft Carhartt SeatSaver Custom Seat Covers Fit Rear 2013 Roadtrek 170-Versatile Motorhome
  • The Covercraft Carhartt SeatSaver Custom Seat Covers # SSC2463CAGY will fit the front seats on your 2013 Roadtrek 170-Versatile Motorhome perfectly, but in looking at that third seat it looks like it's a bit shorter so these will not fit that rear seat. For something that will fit that rear seat you need a universal fit like the Aries Automotive Seat Defender Bucket Seat and Headrest Protector # AA3142G but the problem in going this route is that the gray colors won't match too well. There...

  • Will the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Work W/ a 2018 Ford F-150 XLT
  • The compatibility of the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator w/ Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness # HS381-9067 is going to depend more on the trailer you're towing rather than the tow vehicle - but the short answer is yes, as long as your trailer has a single, tandem, or triple axle with disc brakes, this kit and your truck will mesh just fine. Also, since this kit is designed for disc brakes, and the Kodiak # KOD89FR is a disc brake kit, the two will work great as well.

  • What To Do When Your Atwood RV Air Conditioner System Has An E4 Error Code
  • An E4 error code indicates either a lack of refrigerant, a bad compressor, or an uncalibrated thermistor. The compressor isn't a replaceable part but you could see if the thermistor needs to be recalibrated by completing the steps listed in the attached picture. Since RV air conditioner condenser units have a closed refrigerant system you wouldn't be able to add in more like you would with your residential condenser unit and ultimately would need to replace the unit if it is in fact low....
