Wire size on 30 amp RV cables
Do the commercial 30 amp RV cables you purchase from Camping World, Walmart, etc use #10 gage wire or larger? I have 2 of these, both 25 feet long and noticed a 10 volt drop when running the heat pump...

Thanks Guys,
The voltage with no load is 120, drops down to around 115 when the unit starts up and as heat is being produced, it drops to around 111 over a short period of time then stays there. When we park closer to the pedestal, I only use 1 cord and did not notice this happening. leaving for the outer banks this week so I will try with the one cord and see what the drop is. Thanks for all the feedback.
