50amp Plug Configuration
Hello All,
Does anyone have a photo or link showing the 50amp plug for the Monty. We built a garage and we are having the electrician put a 50amp plug in. He has asked us to pick up the receptacle and I can not get to the camper to see the configuration. I am not sure if there is a standard configuration for all 50amp plugs.
Thanks

50 amp RV service requires a 250/125 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle and 3 wire +ground cable.
Here is the General Wiring Schematic

If there is a Camping World store handy, you can get one there, ordered from their catalog or go online to them.

Bought mine at Home Depot for $10.91. Installed it myself. There is nothing special about the 50 amp receptacle. The 30 amp is another story. The way it was explained to me is one of the hot legs runs the first a/c unit in the living area and the rest of the 120 volt outlets and appliances and the other hot leg runs the second a/c unit in the bedroom. That's how Keystone explained it to me when I questioned the two hot legs. Installed it in a weatherproof box under my carport and it works great.

If you are installing a 50 amp panel for camper Home Depot and Lowe's has them for RV 50 amp box. Made by Duck, has 50 amp plug for RV and 120 VAC outlet as well just like the camp grounds have. Cost $79.00. Installed mine last summer. Make sure if your garage is far away from your panel your electrician runs big enough wire from panel to box so you don't have voltage drop issues.
