Extension Cord Useage - Guage
Sometimes at home we need to connect to an extension cord - camper cord not long enough. What size guage should we be using? Does it matter ? Thank you

Are you just running the frig on electric and a few lights getting ready for a trip? Then a 14 ga 50' will be just fine.
Now if you want to run the AC also you'll need a 12ga cord. I have had no issues using a 12ga 50' cord. AC only draws 12-13 amps so a 20A rated cord is fine.
