Hi msrammer,
I am an electrician and though I am not familiar with your particular 5th wheel I do know that most motorhomes and trailers are hooked up with on 120 volts electricity. My motorhome (a 31ft winnie) has dual air and only requires 120v power. Check your users manual or your electrical information plate (located near your hook-up cord) for voltage requirements. Althought it maybe able to hook-up to 30 amp or 50amp plug it still may only be 120v. that said, now if you have a 230v system you will need a four wire plug (#10 for 30 amp, #6 for 50amp) you should have a black, red, white, green wire, at the receptical. Hook the black and the red wires to the line-in side of the recept. the green is for ground the white is for neutral. the red and black hook to different sides of a 230v double pole breaker (in your panel)the white to the neutral bar, the green to the ground bar/lug in the panel.
Good luck Dan
