Borrowing the toy hauler this weekend since I wont have my TC done in time for Rally on the Rocks.They've never hooked up to shore power, and the adapter they have doesn't fit. Here's the plug on the TH Will THIS adapter work for what I'm looking at? The power center is a wfco 8955pec so I believe it's also a charger. Plan to use shore power only while getting it all loaded and ready to go.Thanks all!!

Instead of having a built-in power wore (RV to shore power) quite a few have a large, yellow (color)external power cord that the owner plugs in both ends.It should have come with the RV. Perhaps in a storage bin somewhere?Just FWIW....g'luck !

That's a Marinco 30A shore power connection, not the same plug as a twist-lok generator connection. If you can't find the factory power cord with the right connector you can order an adapter like thisIf you need ASAP check local marine supply stores or your local Wal Mart may have one in the RV section.

I would suggest the 30 amp adapter from Marinco/Park-Power. It will provide enough power to run A/C. Then get a 30 amp 25 foot cord from Walmart.30 amp Adapter

I got tired of pulling 30' of cord out through the hole and pushing it back in after camping.
