Okay, everything I’ve read and/or researched, my 73 Sequoia is 30amp.
I ran a 30amp shore power line outside my shop. Plugged in my surge protector and everything is good.
Ran a 50’ 30amp extension cord to the motorhome. The plug on the shore power from the gmc is a 4 prong, guessing 50amp style. There is an adapter going from 4 lug to 3 lug, came with the motorhome.
When everything is plugged in, the surge protector says reverse polarity, unplug the motorhome and surge protector says all’s good.
Has my motorhome been converted to 50amp?
I can use a regular plug and everything works, including the A/C, and it’s only a 15amp service.
