Can I Install a 30amp and 50 amp Plug In with the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center

Question:

I am interested in purchasing the PD4575K18LS8 and I had one question. I would like to install 2 shore power inlets ,one 50 amp and one 30 amp for when one or the other arent available . some campgrounds have only 30amp or 50 amp ,not both. Would this be possible or maybe a problem? Thanks

I don't recommend doing this when you're installing the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 75 Amp # PD4575K18LS8 since a 50amp plug can be used on 30 amp service with an adapter like the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter - 50 Amp Female to 30 Amp Male - 12" Long # A10-3050FBK. You'll simply run your 50 amp cord to the RV plug as normal and then install the adapter on the service end.

If you don't already have a 50 amp RV power cord, the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord - 50 Amps - 25' Long # A10-5025ED90 is a nice option that has 90 degree connectors to make plugging in and removal easier.
