I have a 30 amp land feed to my RV and a 7kw generator. I want to install a 50 amp transfer switch and convert the 30 amp to 50 amp land supply with the appropriate 50 amp plug and power cord. Is this possible without tearing everything out and starting over? If the generator can put out 70 amps, it seems this could be done.
Thanks.
ANSWER: Greetings Dick thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
Yes it can be done. Will you have to tear some things up? Yes. Can you do it yourself? Yes you can if you are comfortable with rewiring your RV's electrical system.
Have other RVer's done this? Yes, Bob and Mary Hatch are full-time RVers and they have a website. On that website Bob shows step by step how he converted his Motorhome from 30 amps to 50 amps.
