[QUOTE="Caver Dave, post: 493708, member: 10074"] Saw this at my brothers place a few weeks back when he said that "everything (FL fixtures/AC/wall receptacles) would work, but not the exterior quartz worklights"... The issue there is usually an adapter from the 50A trailer-side plug to something other than a 50A receptacle. In his case, the adapter went from the 50A plug down to 20A 120VAC... it *ONLY* transfers power (120VAC) to one of the prongs (either X [u]or[/u] Y) on the plug, so only the trailer circuits on that pole worked. In the case of the furnace & blower not working... the blower was one the UN-energized prong of the plug/pole in the breaker box. Plugging into the 50A receptacle energizes BOTH (X & Y) prongs, allowing both the furnace [u]&[/u] blower to work ;D [/QUOTE]
