The RVer's Open Forum / GENERAL RV DISCUSSIONS / 30 to 20 amp adaptor

Does anyone make a standard adaptor to convert the 30 amp rv plug to the standard 20 amp plug. I have a parallel kit for my twin honda 2000 gensets. The parallel kit has the 30 amp female receptical. I would like to run a power strip with several outlets off of the twin gensets. I would be careful not to draw more then 20 amps off of the pair. Thanks

Yup, almost any good RV store will have what you are looking for. You can find them as a one piece adapter or as a pigtail device.

Hope that helps,

Steve

Here is a nifty adapter that plugs into both receptacles of a duplex outlet. It is still limited by the line breaker, but the load is shared by both receptacles, so there is less possibility of overheating than if only one receptacle is used.

These people have good products and prices, but their shipping charges are exorbitant, so I would recommend trying to buy it elsewhere.
