Electrical help adapter do/don't
2005 Kodiak skamper 160 by thor The plug in camper says 30A but I found a adapter that plugs into 15A. Is this safe? Also should I get a 50A to 30A adapter when out camping? Not sure what campsite...

stressmaster,
I use the 30 to 15 when I need "extra" power for running the block heater--or perhaps for cooking at a picnic table. Cheapest source for dogbone adapters is Walmart.
Pick 3% for voltage drop.
I've also got a "fancy pants" break out box 50 to 30 and 50 to twin 20 amp outlets with circuit breakers.
Where I camp it can get to -40. I am able to heat 100% electrically--but my peak load is 7100 watts and the average is about 5400 watts. It works out to about 129 KWH per day.
