Since I have been told that there is no such thing as a dumb question, I will throw this out and hope that that is true. We recently bought a 1990 36 foot Airex from the second owner who knew very little about it. Everything works but I do not know if it is a 30 amp or 50 amp electrical system. How does one determine that?

I would guess based on the age and size that you have a 30 amp system...3 air conditioners, electric heat, electric cooktop, etc.....usually indicates 50 amp.....sometimes your switch in the electric bay will note the amperage....

Is the cord 3 prong or 4 prong?
3=30 amp
4= 50 amp
This is just in the RV world, not in a sticks and bricks world..
