Thinking of "Full Time" with your help
Hello folks. This is my first post so be gentle... I’ve read many posts on different forums on a great deal of issues and hope I’ve learned enough to not ask too many dumb questions. Now there ...

To clarify what Old-Biscuit said, you can plug your motorhome into a regular house outlet with the proper adapters. However, just because you plug in doesn't mean you can power everything in your motorhome. A lot depends on how your motorhome is set up. In mine, if I have 15 amp power, the only thing I can't run is my air conditioners. But I do have to plan right too. For example my water heater and the fridge can both be either run on 110volt AC, or they can be run on the 12 volt system using gas. So when I only have 15 amp power I usually switch those over to the 12 volt system. If my wife turns on the hair dryer while the coffee pot is running and the TV is on, that's sometimes enough to pop the breaker. So you just have to watch things.
On my heaters I also can run my 12 volt furnaces, or I have portable electric heaters too. So if I only have 15 amp power I use 12 volt heat. So in the winter only having 15 amp power really doesn't slow me down much. Now I do know some of the motorhomes you're talking about do come in all electric models. They have residential refrigerators and heat pumps and everything runs on electricity. So if you get one of those you'll have to pay attention to power if you only have 15 amp service.
