Plugging 50 amp MH into 30 amp 240v socket

[Ifish]

Think how much lighter aluminum wire would be and how much income could be generated by tightening connections every week????

I can't say that I'm smarter now... It's more accurate to say that I got too weak to swing it!

From the Wiki:

NEMA TT-30

The NEMA TT-30 (TT stands for Travel Trailer) connector is a 120 V 30 A recreational vehicle standard (hot-neutral-ground), also known as RV 30. The TT-30R receptacle is commonly available in nearly all RV parks in the United States and Canada, and all but the largest RVs manufactured since the 1970s use this plug to connect to power feeds.

The appearance of this plug is sometimes confused with a NEMA 10 connector, rated for 240 V, but the NEMA TT-30 is a 120 V device. The hot and neutral blades are angled at 45° from vertical and 90° to each other, unlike NEMA 10 devices (where the angles are 30° and 60° respectively), also the plug is slightly smaller than a NEMA 10 and larger than ordinary 5-15P plugs. The ground pin is round, like those on straight-blade NEMA grounding devices.

Enjoy.

That is pretty nearly all the answer the OP needed 124 posts ago! But it’s been an interesting storyline.
