So I purchased this 18" extension, "+PowerGrip+Extender+-+30+AMP&qid=1634121297&sr=8-3, so I can easily plug my setup in. The problem I do encounter frequently is that the pedestal box is to low to the ground to accommodate my surge protector and cord assembly. That would be better than using a 15a or 20a outlet. So what outlet does match up with the power pedestal box cutout? The 50a outlet, if so then why can't you use a 50a to 30a dog bone adapter. If I did I must have had an adapter that remedied it. I can't recall ever running into your problem. Have any of you encountered the same problem and how did you overcome? Any advice would be appreciated.Ī picture would have been very helpful. I have a 15 Amp to 30 Amp dog bone that I was able to get plugged into the pedestal and I don’t need my AC so I’m fine for tonight. I’m wondering about if I might find a male 30 Amp 110 volt RV plug at Home Depot or Lowes where the cord would exit parallel to the male plug. I couldn’t locate such a cord on a quick check of Amazon. It seems what I need is a 1’ 30 Amp extension cord that has the male plug “in-line” with the cord instead of being perpendicular to it so the cable doesn’t have to fit into the U-Shaped cut-out in order to be fully inserted into the receptacle in the pedestal. 30 Amp RV Plug Power Inlet Box,NEMA L5-30P Shore Power Inlet Replacement for 3 Prong 30 Amp 110/120 Volt RV Extension Cord with Twist Lock - 30 Amp RV Receptacle 125 Volt 3750 Watts,ETL Listed(White) 4.5 out of 5 stars 235. If this U-Shaped cut-out is not located directly below the 30 amp receptacle, I can’t get the 30 Amp plug into the receptacle because the cord doesn’t line up with the cut-out and the plug can’t be fully inserted. However, you’ll need to have some dog bone adapters. The problem is the metal pedestal box often has one or two “U-Shaped” cuts-outs below the receptacles in the pedestal for the purpose of the cords being able to exit the pedestal box and then be able to at least partially or completely close the face plate that shields the receptacles from the weather (rain). Yes indeed If your RV has 30-amp service, you can plug into a 15/20-amp or 50-amp power outlet if there’s no 30-amp RV outlet available. On at least 3 different campgrounds over the last 3 years or so, I found it impossible to plug into the 30 amp receptacle in the campground pedestal. The power cord that LTV provided to attach my coach to shore power has a male end that is oriented 90 degrees to the cable. I’m hoping I’m not missing something obvious here.
