When connecting appliances to the electrical system, remember that 120-volt 
power usage is limited to a total of 30 amps. Be mindful of the fact that each 
operating appliance collectively places an added load on your 120-volt electrical 
system.   

An unintentional “trip” of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the RV’s 
and/or campground’s electrical system. The amperage rating of individual 
appliances can be calculated by dividing appliance wattage consumed (normally 
listed on the appliance) by nominal design voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance).   

For example: 1200 watts divided by 120-volts equals 10 amps. 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Only connect the shore power cord to properly wired 30 amp NEMA TT30  
120 volt power receptacles. 

 

Do not connect the shore power cord to any power receptacle until you have 
contacted the campground owner and/or premise attendant to verify proper 
shore receptacle polarity and grounding.  Polarity indicators can be purchased 
in most electrical and hardware stores. 

 

Do not use a cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reduce incoming AC 
power or to break the continuity of the power cord grounding circuit. 

 

Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that is not grounded or adapt the 
30 amp power cord plug to connect to a receptacle for which it is not 
designed.
