The only problem with a bulk purchase is in who orders and how they will be distributed. I don't know if split shipments would be possible. That would make it more like individual purchases anyway.

I asked them if they could make a custom 50A-to-30A RV dogbone (14-50P to TT-30R) using their inline 30A breaker. Ha ha...they're going to be wondering what's going on.

There are both 50 (in) to 30(out) and 30 (in) to 50(out) dog bone adapters. The latter are for 50A RV's to use an older 30A pedestal. Some campgrounds don't allow those because they tend to overload the older campground electrical systems, even if an individual RV doesn't actually trip the 30A breaker in that pedestal The point is to be sure you know exactly what is being excluded from use.

If so, there's our safe dogbone solution. I'd buy one if it was less than $100. |

Edit: I asked if these are waterproof and if they can be made with a 50A plug and 30A socket for RV use. It will be interesting to see what reply I get. When it comes in, then I will post the reply here.

The one campground we stayed at in West Yellowstone provided a 50-30A dogbone for us to use while we were there. When we were down in Florida recently, the campground sent a worker out to remove the 50A outlet and install a 30A outlet. The box accepted a modular connection that had the receptacle and breaker mounted on a plate that plugged into a bus bar in the box. I liked that solution. However, if needed, I would be okay with using a 50-30A dogbone temporarily again if needed. If there were a dogbone with a 30A breaker built-in, I would purchase one. I'm not ready to compromise on a 20A breaker.
