While checking seals and such, I (finally :banghead: ) noticed the incorrect wording on this label. Don't ask me why me and my OCD tendencies didn't notice this earlier, but I realize I have a 30 amp system so it didn't jump out at me. OOPS Keystone! Guess I'll call Keystone tomorrow and see if they'd like to send me a replacement label... What? Don't hold my breath you say? :lol:

Also curious if any other 2020 (late 2019 build) 239ML owners have this same problem?

That reminds me of an old blonde joke :D.

Well, the sticker is right - don't exceed 50 amps :)

I may have to resort to the whiteout... Keystone told to me see the dealer... Called the dealer (CW), they said bring the unit down for inspection. Are You Kidding Me!?? A simple picture for a small label won't suffice?

I found a label online for $15, for a pack of 100 each. Anyone need an extra 30Amp label for their camper if I have to buy these? It'll only cost me a stamp and an envelope to mail you one. If I have to buy 100 of them and mail off a few freebies to those who need one, then so be it. What goes around, comes around.

(Jayco was a lower quality unit, but their customer service went above and beyond compared to what Keystone just did)

Why buy a decal??? You know the max is 30 amps, the outlet cover also is marked 30 amps, the cord has 30 amp plugs on each end... Someone would have to "go to extremes" to adapt it to plug it into a 50 amp plug and even if they did, your power center main circuit breaker is 30 amps, so it won't allow a larger load beyond the power panel.

Decals are like "sold by Feeny Ford" stickers on the back of any car. Nobody notices them after the second glance...

Just take off the "incorrect decal and use a bit of alcohol on a paper towel to remove the adhesive stain and be done with it.

I checked mine and it is correct. But I agree that absent the decal, the cover is sufficient to convey the appropriate voltage/amperage (providing you didn’t go the whiteout/sharpie route).

If someone has a mental blackout, they will find that 3 prongs won't fit into four holes on a 50A outlet anyway. I am sure one of our legal team here on the site will tell you it is a misdemeanor to have a wrong sticker next to your otherwise correctly marked plug on your camper.

John - You're absolutely right sir. I and probably would have done just that... had I not gotten on a bandwagon and started fixing all that was found wrong on the camper this past winter while camping a few times here in FL. I could have made a list and them dropped it off at the dealer, for 6 weeks, but I decided to do it right myself. And then I found this... UGGH!

A Sharpie! :lol:

Misdemeanor for this... how about the gray and black handles labeled incorrectly or not at all (as in our case, good thing I knew better). That ought to be a felony!

At any rate - I stopped in at the local CW (my dealer) on my way home today and happen to catch their OEM Parts Coordinator. I asked if they had any 30amp decals around that I could get my hands on while I showed him the same picture. He shook his head in disbelief and said he'll do me one better and get me the entire decal sheet from the factory because they don't come individually. This made the DW happy too. A pleasant surprise by CW I must say.
