Thank you.. very helpful. We are def not going above 28 total feet
I don't believe the surge guard is needed with the truck, I really just wanted to make sure it ran the diagnostics first, and thought it could give me a 2nd indicator of the current loads if I needed it. I hadn't used it since that initial hookup, and I'm confident that my truck works fine.
I have an 6AWG extension cord between my truck and my 3000QB trailer. I keep getting ground fault errors. Any recommendations where to start trying to trouble shoot it? The extension cord is home made and acts as the 30A to 50A adapter.
I have no idea! When you say "30A to 50A adapter" do you mean your home made cord is 4 pin twist lock (L14-30) on one end and 4 pin 50A trailer on the other end? If so that should just be a straight connection and not cause an issue... As long as you don't exceed 30A on either circuit (which is actually hard to do in a max 2 A/C travel trailer once they route the phases for balance) you should be fine!
Turns out my truck is smarter than I am. I had the ground and neutral reversed. Fixed the wires and it runs perfect. Ran both AC units and the fridge and only pulled 1500w on one leg and 1800w on the other.
That splitter is no longer available anywhere that I can find.

That one does not plug into the truck.
Oh duh! Forgot I started with the L14-30 to 14-50 dogbone for my 50A trailer. Then I added the splitter for additional options. My bad
That makes sense. Thanks!
Maybe use a combination of these two... not ideal, but it would provide the split.
