This adapter is not giving you even close to the same wattage needed to properly run a 50 Amp RV. A 50 Amp. connection at a campground pedestal has a total wattage rating of 12,000 Watts while this plug will only allow you a total of 5400 Watts.
Here's why.............
A 50 Amp pedestal connection is two separate 50 Amp Breakers at 120 Volts each... So
120 V x 50 A = 6000 Watts
x 2 Breakers = 12,000 Watts
This "Y" adapter is using one 15 Amp 120 Volt Breaker and one 30 Amp 120 Volt breaker.... So
120 V x 15 A = 1800 Watts
+ 120 V x 30 A = 3600 Watts
Total Wattage = 5400 Watts
Don't be fooled into thinking you're getting almost the same power from this 45 Amp "Y" adapter as you would from a true 50 Amp pedestal outlet....you're actually only getting less than 1/2 of the wattage needed.

Looking forward to using this adapter this summer when I am in campgrounds that do not provide 50 amp service. Hopefully it will allow me to run most appliances that I run with 50 amp service.

Works great but remember the 15 amp receptacle must NOT be ground fault.

Great Adaptor
Let's me get 50 amp service when a 50 amp recepticale is not available, and with the 30 to 20 amp adaptor you can use two 20 amp recepticales to get 40 amps to your 50 amp plug. Works great for me at the race track where there are lots of 20 amp recepticales available.

Great product
Got this so I can connect to my paralleled generators. Works like a charm. Haven't had the trailer out to the camp grounds to use it there yet.
