i have a couple more questions
i have searched the site and didnt find answers for them.
our travel trailer is a 2017 heritage glen 282rk
we are new to this type of camping(our first travel trailer)
it has a residential fridge. 30 amp service.
first off, i am wondering will the batteries in my travel trailer will charge when plugged into shore power?
They SHOULD though if something is broken they will not, OH if you have a battery disconnect switch (Use/store or Disconnece) I m ust be CONNECTED (use) to charge
second, i am wanting to get an extension cord so that i can plug the trailer in when it is at home(we dont have a 30 amp connector),we want to be able to plug it in and cool the fridge down before we head out on the road.
I would recommend a 12 gauge. You can find those at the big box stores. SEARS and K-Mart sell one with a push button on the outlet. That is what I use. I like that button.
i know i would need to also get a dog bone adapter to make it work on the trailer.
Yes You will need that.
as always i thank you in advance for your input
You are welcome
