Hi Don & Mary Ann,

You bet, there is lots of ways to go from 50A to 30A. Here's a link to one of them.

http://www.campingworld.com/browse/s...d/skunum=12854

That's Camper World in the US, but a local RV store in Langley should have one. Our dealer (Fraserway) gave us one when we bought our trailer. I also made a 25' 30 A cord into 50A to 30A adapter. beats pulling out the 50A monster cord
when it's not necessary. Hope this helps.

J&D

Don & Mary Ann: If I am not mistaken the adapters are on sale now at CW.

There are several types, depends on your preferance. Most people use the "dog bone" (just a small adapter that looks like a bone)

Your future Montana should come with a 50 amp cord so I think the adapter you need would be opposite of the one J&D gave the link for. Try this link,
(http://www.campingworld.com/browse/s...e/skunum=27988). Hope this helps

I use this http://www.campingworld.com/browse/s...d/skunum=15889 It sure beats lugging around that big heavy 50 amp cord. Now I leave the 50 amp cord at home in the garage.

I have a selection of adapters in my coach. Never know which one you may need until you get there. All the product links that have been provided will do the job.

Unless things have changed, only if the dealer throws them in as Keystone does not.
When I order my new rig I will be going from my 03 with 30 AMP to an 07 with 50 AMP making most, if not all, of my electrical adapters pretty much useless for me. As part of the total package that I will be haggling for it will also include ALL the 50 to 30 to 20 AMP adapters I could possibly need.
Same goes for all the NEW sewer hose, ends, elbows and etc. After all I ain't puttin all that crappy old stuff in my nice new smellin Monty.
