Folks, most RV sites have 30 amp and 50 amp plug points. Can we use these to charge our Tesla's?
Thanks!
Yes you can as long as you have the right adapters.. we camped at several RV camp/ campsites in Oregon and CA, used the 14-50 adapter (50Amp)Folks, most RV sites have 30 amp and 50 amp plug points. Can we use these to charge our Tesla's?
Thanks!
I've charged at many RV parks using the 50 amp (14-50) connector (standard equipment with the Tesla). You need an adapter to use the 30 TT-30 plugs and as they are only 110V, it's a slower charge. In the area's I've traveled (mainly the prairie states), most RV parks have 50 amps, but this depends on the area of the country. Two points when using RV parks:
1. The circuits are often not up to city standards, so you need to adjust the rate down. Usually 33-38 amps works fine. A full 40 amp will often trip the breakers.
2. RV park managers only know about 30 amp and 50 amp. They have no idea of what a 14-50 or TT-30 is.
I found this document useful.

I used this post to make a TT-30 adapter with parts from Amazon. Works great and is very useful at those state parks which only have 30 amp service.I found this document useful.

Plugshare does list ones that have allowed EVs to charge in the past, but there are vastly more RV parks than those listed on Plugshare. It's worthwhile checking out allstays.com or another RV park finder and calling ahead if you find yourself in a jam.Plugshare.com is useful for finding RV parks that are Tesla friendly.
Prior to this past February, I had to charge at RV campgrounds to make it to any Supercharger.
There are threads on it. People use air mattresses among other solutions.On the subject of sleeping in a Tesla S, how could anyone be comfortable in the back, where seats don't fold perfectly flat?
I used a folded up bedspread under my air mattress to level the floor. It worked fine but the problem with sleeping in the back of the S is the low headroom. I'm more comfortable in my little tent.I don't think an air mattress would do a thing to solve the physical challenge of an uneven angle surface. Imho
