15A outlet
Breakers
A typical campsite
’
s power pedestal will have three types of plug-in receptacles: 15 amp, 30 amp and 50 amp. The 15A
receptacle is typically the same as you would find in your home. The 30A and 50A receptacles are specific to the RV industry.
Other receptacles look similar but may not be wired the same. If in doubt, check with campground personnel.
The pedestal will also typically have individual breakers for the 15A, 30A, and 50A services. Many campgrounds turn off
unused breakers so check that the breaker for the plug you will be using is turned on. There is an indicator light on the yellow
plug at the end of your shore power connection cord that will let you know when you have power, and also an indicator inside
on the inverter switch on the distribution panel.
Your Roadtrek is equipped with a 30 Amp cord. Most power pedestals have a 30 amp receptacle.
