Hmmmmm. Somehow or somewhere, I got the idea that
the power in these coaches was 50 Amp, 240 Volts;
i.e., 120-0-120 about a common neutral. Now it
seems from my looking at the Onan schematic that
it may simply be a single 120V/50A circuit.

I am aware of the strange (to me) system that one
power cable plugs into shore power OR a separate
receptacle wired to the genset.

The reaason for my query is that I am going to
have a licensed electrician install a 120V/30A
single circuit at the house to power a travel
trailer AND the 50A outlet to power the GMC.

I want to be able to give him correct instructions.
