I just bought a 220 volt, 8 ga., 30 amp wire (60ft) and 30 amp breaker for the house so I will have a hookup in my parking spot here. After taking a day to install everything, I was just about to hook the RV up to it when DOHH! - there is a placard on the door to the electrical wire that says:
Hookup to 110-125 volt, 60 htz, 30 amp connection only. Do not connect to a higher voltage.
1. How is this possible since you need this 220 volt wire to get the 30 amps or am I wrong (as well as home depot) about this?
1a. Why then does the truck have a 8ga (assuming 220volt) wire coming out?
2. Is there a converter or something to limit the volts coming from the house?
3. Do I need to reinstall a different wire in the house
4. What possible solutions or ideas do you electrically blessed people have :+)
5. If there are no solutions, does anyone want to come over, have a beer and watch some fireworks?
Yall are great.
Thanks,
Hunter
