I have a 50amp 5th wheel with the inverter prep(no inverter currently installed). I keep it plugged in at home to a 15amp plug via a 30amp surge protector and a dog bone adapter(waiting for 30/50amp outlet to be installed). I haven’t tested every outlet but I haven’t noticed any 120v outlets that don’t work while plugged into the house like this… We just had a power outage so to keep the kids occupied and comfortable I connected the 30amp surge protector directly to my generator and moved everyone out there. The only 120v outlets that had power were the inverter prep outlets. Does anyone know why the outlets wouldn’t work while connected to the generator and why they would work when connected to the house?
