Perhaps

Though I am concerned that the the manufacture of the recept may have not rated that term to properly secure 2 wires of 10AWG stranded.
They may recommend ferrules if they are cage clamp terms.

[QUOTE=roadglide;454135]It’s a 50 amp range receptacle the link you have posted. The Receptacle I show is a push and twist into my 50 amp rv. My thought is why buy a new30 amp receptacle for the cable and turn around and have to buy a 30 to 50 amp dog bone.[/QUOTE]

Because 30 amp is 120 volt 3 wire. One hot, neutral and ground. 50 Amp is 120/240 volt 4 wire. Two hots, one neutral and one ground. You must have the correct dog bone to accomplish the correct connection.

There some folks that will disagree with your theory. This is exactly the kind of comment that’s Confusing . I don’t understand why it is so controversy and you must buy the correct dog bone to complete what I just did.

Cavie your a master electrician is this the right Wiring the plug is rv twist in 50 amp. I was told to dump the jumper then after seeing a print of a 30 Amp to a 50 amp dog bone print. I added the jumper I admit I’m no Electrician if I had to hire one to wire this it would be cheaper to go buy the same 30 to 50 Rv Receptacles or plug. The connection to the rv has no prong that would be a receptacle. It’s a 30 amp Plug on one side and a 50 amp receptacle on the other side, 25 ft dog bone .

Well it is correct only if the jumper is 10 gauge wire same as the cord.
