However, knowing that is of limited value, since most RVs have either a NEMA TT-30 (120-volt, 30-amp) or NEMA 14-50 (240 volt split-phase, 50 amp) plug. A camp site may have one, both, or neither in addition to the NEMA 5 socket. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
