Can you plug your RV into your dryer outlet?

Good question. I commend you for reading this post. You think ahead. That’s good! This isn’t the time for “better to ask forgiveness than permission.” Crossing your fingers and plugging in is a good way to shell out an extra $5,000 you hadn’t planned on.

You may have heard the one-size-fits-all answer, “No, you cannot plug an RV into a dryer outlet, you Neanderthal!’ That is not 100% true. There are actually four types of dryer outlets and two types of RV power systems, so what’s true for one isn’t necessarily true for the rest.
