My plan was to run a 30 amp rated extension cord to the 120v outlet on the main breaker box in the park. I don’t think my plugs in the RV are strong enough and don't want to put more strain on the 50 amp line. Good thing about being portable is i can take it out during cooler months. What has been your experience with this kind of unit. I believe you said you have tested one? Thanks
NOT ALL Parks can support additional load on the 120v - 20a plug. Newer parks usually.
