I hooked up my Hott Rod water heater conversion kit to give myself an electric option on my all propane water heater and all is going pretty good except for one thing. The only outlet I can read with the cord shares a circuit with the water pump and if I run them both at the same time the pump doesn't get the necessary juice and I don't get any water out. If unplug the water heater it all goes back to normal. The instructions for the Hott Rod say don't use an extension cord with it so I can't reach another outlet. Any suggestions? Do you think it might be ok with a heavy duty extension cord? This RV is an older one so warranty is not an issue and I live in it full time. It stays parked in one place so i could take the extension cord to an alternate outside protected plug.
