I bought a 35 foot 5th wheel a couple of days ago, and last night I went to plug it in so I can keep the batteries charged up. There is a little problem though:
The plug is a 125/240 50A 4/6 SO wire. 4 Wire 3 pole. I need to bring that down to 125V to plug it into a regular 120V house outlet. Does anyone know how to wire it?
I bought a 4 prong (three blade and round ground) female plug to plug the cord of the 5th wheel into, but I'm not quite certain on how to wire it. Best I can figure is Green for ground, black goes on the right blade, and white goes on the left one, leaving the bottom blade empty. I'm getting power to the Microwave and 1/2 the plugs in the camper (as well as the ceiling fan), but the batteries aren't charging. I checked fuses, and nothing is popped. I know the charger and the rest of the plugs work when plugged into a 240/50A socket.
Did I wire that thing correctly?
I'd ask an electrician friend of mine, but he's out hunting, and his cell phone is turned off... go figure.
Thanks guys.
