[PUP] Power cords 30/50

[Scott E. Bulger]

A 50amp connector is a different pin configuration, right?  Wouldn't this be
a terrible idea?  Wouldn't I need to replace both the cable end and the
receptacle?  If so, I'd now have a receptacle with wires sized for 30 amps
connected to a 50 amp connector, violating the wiring specs.  Seems like a
terrible idea to me when keeping the contacts clean should resolve the
issue?  This idea seems wrought with problems, unless there is something I'm
just not understanding?

Oh, also, if going this route and doing Passagemaking, a better idea would
be to discuss a world wide solution to the problem.  As Less asked earlier,
is there some common connector that would make more sense to wire and
configure, giving you better world wide access, or is it best to leave it as
is and use cables to adapt to each configuration you experience?
