Electrical plug cheater box
Coach is stored at my business (warehouse) and plugged in 7/24 to a 20 amp receptacle. I would like to pre-cool before hitting the road for a day or two. I can reach 2 different (not on same circuit) ...

The big problem with the cheater box. NOTE there are exceptions I'll post two.
Normally on a 30 amp site you have 30 and 20 amp outlets (sometimes only a 30) and the 20 amp is NORMALLY a GFCI (older grandfathered parks may not have GFCI)
NO Gfci, they work well
GFCI, they trip .. if they do not trip the GFCI something is wrong with the GFCI
30 amp outlets are not normally GFCI, however that said, exceptions do exist.
IF you can plug into two 30 amp outlets.. It works great, I've done it
One place is a spot I park 2x a year, I'm there in the "off" (Just before/after) season Folks start pulling in just as I leave, or leave just before I pull in so I can normally grab two sites Some of the sites however are GFCI,,,, I need to avoid those.
Another place is the Thousand Trails park in Las Vegas in August.. My understanding (I was there in Jan/Feb) is that in the hot season they assign every other site and encourage you to use the cheater box so you can run both A/C's.
I must say I like that park manager.
