Marc,
This is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES

When I had the 3400RL I had a 50amp to 115 pig tail I purchased at the dealer. I also had 30 to 50 for that occasional CG that did not have 50amp.

When sitting here in the driveway I would use the 50 to 115 and plug into the regular extension cord going into the garage. I could run 1 air conditioner and some lights in the Hanna and the television. To many at one time would trip the house 20 amp circuit breaker. Running a vacuum cleaner would trip it and running a coffee pot on the same line would trip it. Once I got used to what I could and could not use I kept it cool in there anytime I had it in the driveway.

I had an electrician come in and install a 50Amp service. He went by the directions in the link above, but he knew ahead of time how to do it. I stood beside him when he metered the receptacle so that I was sure of the voltage and polarity.

Good luck, and having 50Amp installed is well worth the investment. Just think, you can invite other MOC'ers to come visit!!!!!
