  • Comparing 50-Amp RV Service to 30-Amp RV Service, 4-Prong Plug Vs. 2-Prong
  • The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter, # A10-3050D90VP is used to adapt your RV's 4-prong 50-amp power inlet for use with a 30-amp 3-prong extension cord/Power Pedestal.

In regards to the 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Adapter part # ETBC7 and Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185,...

  • What is the Functionality of Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole Adapter # 37185

  • There is not really a functional difference between the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter for Furrion RV Observation Camera # FR87PR and the no longer available FR74FR.
