How hard is it to change a 110 outlet, to handle 50 watts from a rv thanks?

Question

trying to power up a rv to handle a 50 watt power cord

Answer 1

If you mean 30A and not W...dont do it.

you need the proper outlet and wires to carry 30W of load and you need to properly install it.

If you dont know what to do, hire someone...

Answer 2

If you meant to say amps, you'll not find a 110 volt outlet that can handle it. Even the 220 volt ones for electric dryers are only 30 amp. Now, an electric stove outlet is rated for 50 amps....are you going to use power from the RV, or trying to power the RV from external source?

Answer 3

Surely you do not mean 50 watts.  You must mean 50 Amps at 110V.  That is 5500W.  Most 110V circuits are set up to trip a breaker at 20 Amps.  You want to overrate the circuit by a factor of 2 1/2 times.  Not a good thing.  You will have to come directly from the main breaker panel with a separate circuit.  

Bring a 220V 30 amp (6600W) circuit out to a sub panel in your RV. Split and balance the load to separate 110V lines in the sub panel.

Good luck and be safe.  73 from the Fisherman

Answer 4

I will bet that you meant to say 50 AMP service for your RV.

NO.

50A is 220V

30A is 110V

You can use an adapter to convert the 50A cable to use a 30A outlet.

Your RV is really 110V, they feed 220V to the breaker panel and then it is divided down as needed - balanced.

If you use the 30A to 50A adapter, you are not going to be able to run all your devices at the same time as you could on 50A. No dual AC and Microwave while the washer/dryer is running.

Answer 5

50 Watts is nothing (less than a light bulb).  Any outlet should be able to handle it, as long as the voltages match!
