Might depend on what year yours was built but... I can plug in to a 30A or even a 15A circuit and then use simple adapters to eventually connect to tour 50A power cord...

Haven't fully checked to see what runs, don't know if that feeds both of our 110V "lines" but it's been enough to charge our pre-AGM batteries occasionally when we were on the hard for a winter...

I think that's because we don't have an isolation transformer, though... those didn't start being installed until a year or two after ours was built. (Ah. Maybe that's the transformer you mentioned in subsequent posts...)

Wouldn't run any 220V appliances, of course, but then we don't have any of those anyway...
