| Just bought a Progressive Industries EMS-PT30X after reading all that I could on the forum about RV electrical safety. Our pod is (obviously) 30A so that's the EMS I went with, but then I got to thinking...what do I do when a pedestal only offers 50A service? Can I just put a hockey puck adapter on the unit and plug it in? Is it even possible for a pedestal to ONLY offer 50A? |

| I don't think I have ever seen 50 amp only, but if you have the adapter Furpod mentioned you will be fine, the 30 amp main breaker will protect the pod. |

If the pedestal offers only 50A the rigs around you will be too big and have too many axles  . Time to move on
