Someone needs to get their AI written articles fact checked before they publish them. This is a bit embarrassing for KOA. The article was on KOA's website, but has been rewritten, evidently by a human with some real-world knowledge.
First mistake:
Have you ever seen an RV fridge that takes more than 30 amps? I haven't either.
Second mistake:
Third mistake:
No, plugging a 50 amp to 30 amp dogbone into a 50 amp pedestal will not cause a fire in your 30 amp trailer. Obviously the AI doesn't understand Ohm's law.
Blatant mistakes like these sure make you question what you read on the internet.
First mistake:
The main difference between 30 and 50-amp RVs is the plug and wiring. A 50-amp RV has more outlets and wiring, so more power goes to each outlet. Since a 50-amp RV has access to more energy, it can run a different set of appliances. For example, 30-amp RVs typically cannot operate a fridge as it requires large amounts of electricity.
Have you ever seen an RV fridge that takes more than 30 amps? I haven't either.
Second mistake:
This is a direct contradiction of the previous statement that 30 amps can't run RV refrigerators.Some of the average amp draws for your RV appliances include: 5 amps: Refrigerators
Third mistake:
CAN I RUN MY 30-AMP RV ON A 50-AMP OUTLET AND VICE VERSA?
You can run a 30-amp RV on a 50-amp outlet, but it does come with some risks. While you can use an adapter to plug into the pedestal, it will still provide 50 amps of power, which can overload your system and cause a fire. Keeping your amperage low can ensure your RV is safe from fire and other damage.
