Margaret and I have taken the giant leap and traded in our 25' Fleetwood Mallard travel trailer for a 2007 Prairie Schooner, which we will pick up on February 19th. That is our decision. That is the earliest we can get up to Martinsburg, PA to pick up our PS. We noticed that unlike the Mallard, the PS has 50-amp. We already know that lots of camp sites only offer 30-amp service. How will this affect us in our 50-amp PS? We read about a pigtail for plugging the 50-amp unit into a 30-amp outlet. Is this safe and will it damage our electrical system? We just began RVing this past year and next fall (after I retire) we will be full timing. We are very excited but we are novices and need all the feedback we can get.

Thanks,

Ray and Margaret
