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

The size depends on two things. Current and length
For a 15 amp circuit I'd use at least 12ga Extension cord, Most big box home improvement will have 'em (Lowes, Home Depot, Mennards)
For anything bigger Get a cord at an RV store or make one custom
If making one custom "Up-Size" the wire.
8ga for 30 amp 6 for 50
