Hello
I ended up getting one of these when I was in the US:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FH6TJC3 - RV Y Adapter Cord 50Amp Female to Two Male
I couldn't find anyone that might have used one via the forums so I thought I would give it a try.
I just tested it out at home using an adapter for 5mins and only pulling 12amps/240V via two separate circuits in my garage(One 15amp one is 20amp). It worked! but now I'm worried about long term use and issues that might happen?
I had got this for camping at a campground not far from me that has separately breakered TT30 and 15amp(non-GFCI) that I will return to.
I now realize this might not be that useful here as I can use a TT30 adapter for EV's(120V/24amp) vs this y adapter getting (240V/12amp) as I also probably shouldn't draw more then 12amps using this setup? So really I'm pulling the same number of watts in either setup?
Regardless this seems like a much cheaper option to devices like the Quick 220V in a location when you have only 120V/12amp outlets. So in the end the what is the point of this more expensive device like a Quick 220V. Unless I'm missing some sort of safety feature this provides? Is it not just merging 2 x 120V from two separate circuits to make a 240V?
Thanks
