Yeah, I know how adapters work too, but you’re not reading what I’m writing, but picturing the very opposite.
I’ve been referring to a 30A 120V/240V “new” standard that would bridge the capacity gap between 30A 120V and 50A 120/240V present RV electrical standards. And I’m saying it would be possible for existing 30A 120V RVs to plug into a future 30A 120/240V pedestal using an adapter (which already exist).
See picture below which may clear this up. It really doesn’t matter because it is unfortunately not going to happen anyway because economics don’t favor it enough.
