Electrical truck to trailer connection question
Can I use an extension cord to connect between my truck connector and my trailer cable connector ?
If yes do I have to worry about a voltage drop if the distance is too long.
I park my trailer in a trailer barn that I built several years ago, and this year I added next to it an attached truck port where I now park my truck.
Each time we want to work in the trailer or have heat/lights on in it, I have to back the truck out and back it up to the trailer to plug it in.
I am thinking that if I had an extension cord, I could leave the truck parked in the truck port and then just using it , plug into the trailers cord.
I have space to run under the side of the two buildings, but haven't measured the distance I would need for the extension.
If I can do this; what is the maximum length I can use for the extension cord, (naturally I will use the shortest that I can)
