RV TIPS & TALES 50A TO 30A DISASTER

RV TIPS & TALES 50A TO 30A DISASTER

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty

Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 062325
Episode #: 
Original Broadcast Date: 06/23/2025

RV owners, beware: some older campgrounds may not have the correct power outlet for your rig, so instead of the normal 30 amp outlet, you might be forced to plug into a 50-amp outlet using one of those adapters.  It sounds easy, but it can go very wrong—very fast. In this cautionary tale, Elizabeth shares our own story that resulted in a melted mess and a potential fire. Why? Because not all adapters regulate current properly, and RV wiring isn’t one-size-fits-all. There is a HUGE difference between those “dog bone” adapters and converters, and you MUST use a surge protector.  This was nearly a painful lesson for us that could cost thousands.

If you’re new to RV life or planning a summer trip, this is one segment you can’t afford to skip.


FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS

About the Show

Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don’t normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
