Jeff is correct.
This is a conversion feature, so Prevost probably won’t know what you’re talking about. Liberty might sell them, but there are lots of sources for them. West Marine and CampingWorld come to mind.
I was puzzled by the “format” of that outlet on the curb side of our Liberty. I saw only three prongs to plug into, but the 50amp plug on the cord on the other side of the coach has four prongs and all the 50amp RV receptacles I’ve seen are configured for four prongs. After some research I realized there is a “fourth prong” on the circumference of the outlet on the curb side (I kinda think its probably the ground). Continued research revealed that 50amp marine/RV cords have a special plug to plug into that receptacle. (See the picture I’ve attached.)
This was important to me because I’ve set our house and race shop up to plug the house/shop transfer swtich to plug into the 50amp “buddy plug” on the coach in case the power goes out and I needed to power the house/shop with the coach generator. I already have a Jamestown Advanced Products RV Power Outlet Box configured 50/30/20 … I should have gone with 50/50/20, my mistake) for shore power. I now wish Jamestown offered an Outlet Box configured for four possible receptacles that I’ve configure 50/50/20/50(male). The first three would be normally powered from the main panel in the race shop and the fourth one would be wired to the transfer switch so the cord plugged into it would be plugged into the coach’s “buddy plug”. So I ended up buying a Reliance 50amp Inlet Power Box from Northern Tool that our electrician wired to the transfer switch. (See the picture I’ve attached.) Home Depot might be offering the Reliance box at a lower price at this time.
I am about to purchase the cord and I think that Darrel is probably in the same position. Others must have bought these cords. Are there cords to stay away from? What is the best source for a good cord? I notice that Camping World has its 25′ cord on sale ($217 vs $319). Is that the cord to buy? What have others bought, been happy with, and where did you get it?
PS: I notice that Jamestown Advanced Products are offering a new feature to its lighted RV Power Outlet Box. Personalized Access Door!
I called Advanced and was hoping that they already had the artwork for Prevost or Liberty Coach or Prevost Community logo’s … but they don’t … maybe yet. I hope those are coming.
