Electrical hookups in Canada
Probably a silly question, but are the plugs the same in Canada as US, or do we need an adapter as we did in England?

Here are pictures of the adapter that I was referring to. Note that both sides of the duplex are tied together and internally connected to the 30 amp RV outlet.
This adapter was originally available from Camping World, but because of the situation that I described above, they removed it. I later bought a couple of them for use on my Honda EU2000's, and noted that they were not available to Canadian customers.
In no way am I slamming or otherwise pointing a negative finger toward anyone or Canada, but just pointing out a situation that I found while trying to use this particular adapter.
I agree that I would never ever plug my RV into any receptacle without first testing it.
