Looks to be this, very common at RV sites:
DOH! beat me to it!Looks to be this, very common at RV sites:
Shouldn't the car do 16A at 120V? (TESLA does have an adapter for 120v 20A outlets, 80% of which would be 16A, not 12A) Others here may know if there's a way to convince the car to go even higher (If you have 30A available, you might as well do 24A)Sorry Just found out what it was
NEMA TT–30 is a 30 A, 125 V outlet
I cant believe it is only 125 v
because the car can only charge 12 amps at 125 volt
enough for ac ? over night .
Thank You All for the quick replies, this is truly an awesome car with awesome support people!
I am going with this
NEMA 14-50R to TT-30P RV Plug Adapter
Great place for future adapters
This video gives some intro to RV park power sockets:
Campsites are the last place you want to use one of those devices because of the higher chance of failure. Those combine devices can end up being the return path for entire pedestals. See my FAQ (signature) for more information.Keep in mind you'll be limited to either 20A or 24A. Since it's only going to be 120VAC, you'll get 6-8mph charge. It's better than 120V@12A, though!
If you had access to two TT-30 outlets, you could use a combiner and get 240V@24A. You just have to make sure they are on different legs.
Just be careful!
The standard TT-30P to 14-50R adapter made for an RV will not work with a Tesla!!! You need to get one made for a Tesla, and that will not work for an RV...
With this adapter, NEMA 14-50R to TT-30P Plug Adapter, you can charge at 120 Volts and 24 Amps (20 Amps on older Model S's). The standard RV TT-30 to 14-50 adapter for RV's will not work for a Tesla; you get nothing.
There is a whole set of adapters, Adapters For Tesla Model S; just be careful that you know what you are doing...
Because the UMC wants 240V across both legs of the NEMA 14-50. The 'dog bone' adapter just puts 120V on one half of the 14-50 with one hot leg giving potential over neutral and the other leg is not energized at all.

Close... they bridge both hot pins on the 14-50 to the single hot on the TT-30. The Tesla sees 0V because there's no potential difference between them.
...What the adapter does, is terminates one of these 110/120 volt legs inside the adapter so you are only getting ONE 110/120 volt leg...
...some campgrounds cheat..... and even though they advertise 50 amp RV service, they are only actually providing ONE 110/120 volt 50 amp side. They do what's similar to the adapter and bridge the L1 and L2 legs inside the pedestal and thus only provide 50 amps total to your RV. That's usually good enough to run your 2 air-conditioners and some other stuff....but it may not be enough depending on what all you are using at once...
...On many motorhomes, electrical service for a 50 amp line is split into two parts. The first part, the 30 amp side of the socket, goes to the normal, everyday things we all use. It includes one of two air conditioners. The other side of the socket goes to the second air conditioner...

The return path for the entire pedestal? If the pedestal only has 120VAC going to it, how is that a problem? If the pedestal has a 14-50R on it, the OP probably wouldn't be playing with the TT30, now would they?
All of the ones I've seen that have a TT30 and a 5-15 duplex, only have a single 30A single pole breaker going to them.
