Melting extension cord
I will be taking our first big trip soon and we will need the air conditioner. We usually boondock and never use the AC. I have only used it at home a couple of times and when I did the extension cord...

I will order a bigger gauge 30 amp cord and then use the "puck" adapter or should I get the dog bone style?
This is good but I still wonder why a breaker did not trip.
The AC and the vacuum cleaner are both "single use" items on a 15 amp breaker; probably even a 20 amp one.
I think you need to study the breakers in your house box some.
Something is not right there too.
And check for heat with your new setup.....at both ends of the extension cord and at the adapter.......and at the corresponding breaker in the house box.
