Bob - I fully agree with you. It is just that many of us (and I am betting you also) with inquiring minds really like to know the whys and what-fors of things we don’t fully understand.

Mark - you are very close. Current flows back and forth in alternating directions thru a neutral just as it does thru a hot. But in the case of two equal loads on opposite phases using a common...

You are not correct. It has been explained multiple times above.

Look at the circuit breaker. It is a two pole circuit breaker, 50 amps on each pole. 50 amps thru hot leg 1 plus 50 amps thru hot...

I tend to think of the 50 amp RV power as being 100 amp equivalent. You can get 50 amps of 120 vac thru hot leg 1 and/or 50 amps of 120 vac thru hot leg 2. That gives the equivalent of 100 amps of...

Exactly. A 30 amp service has a single 120 vac hot leg protected by a single pole 30 amp breaker.

A 50 amp service has two hot legs protected by a 2 pole linked 50 amp circuit breaker. Each leg...

Even though there are two hot legs in the trailer, they are both fed by the single leg from the 30 amp park breaker. A typical 15k A/C pulls 15 +/- amps. You MIGHT run two A/Cs at the same time. But...

Depending on the unit, the second A/C is sometimes an option. I would guess they simply failed to label the 2nd A/C breaker. Two A/Cs running at the same time would trip the standard 20 amp breaker....

Yes, that is how mine is configured. Alternating spaces for H1 and H2.

Some apparently have the main breaker in the middle with sub breakers on each side of center. H1 on one side and H2 on the...

Does 50 amp hookup actually have 240 vac in the RV?

Mixed in the discussion of campgrounds prohibiting using a 50/30 adapter to connect a 50 amp RV to a park 30 amp outlet, there was a side discussion on whether there was actually 240 vac available in...
