Mexican park power and the rig...
Much like trying to power a railroad switch engine with a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine
Incredibly few outlets have ground wire connections.
SHE HAS TO TEST FOR HOT NEUTRAL REVERSED BEFORE PLUGGING IN!
When I start seeing icebergs floating by the beach I'll look for 240 volt 50 amp sockets on power pedestals. Even 30 amp sockets are rare as hell.
Deep in Mexico it is the norm to plug in and find 97 volts.
NO AIR CONDITIONERS! Management forbids their use!
