110V Hookup

**** PLEASE NOTE:
Not having symptoms DOES NOT MEAN “No worries or that ONE DOES NOT HAVE COVID-19! “

There are ASYMPTOMATIC people that are unknowingly spreading it.

(Also, testing negative may not mean you’re negative either. It may just be that the viral load is subclinical at the point of time the test was taken. Also, up to 30% of tests may have been false negatives, and it can take up to 14 days to become symptomatic.)

Not true AT ALL. There have been countless cases of people getting Covid from someone who was asymptomatic. I really doubt the OP would want to risk his parents getting sick or something even worse because
he had your attitude. :M

Yes, I agree with TravelinDog. You are spreading it to other people for several days before you become symptomatic.

I agree with the rest of what you said and I wish you just had left off that part at the end.

Girlfriend got really sick and ended up in the hospital with Covid a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, she has her own place and we haven't been spending much time together so I haven't gotten it from her,,, yet.

Neighbor fought it for 2 months and died from it. He was 59 and was healthy until he got it.

This thing is just so unpredictable. Some people, most people really, hardly get sick at all and then the next one gets really sick.

In before the lock.

Typhoid Mary didn't have any symptoms and killed a lot of people. To the day she died she never believed she had typhoid. Covid is no different, and peoples' beliefs are no different.

If you plan to use electric heat it is best to upgrade the "stab" connector outlets with good quality screw terminal outlets.

Otherwise--run a cord into the RV and use that for heating.

I've added 2 auxiliary shore power cords to my RV. So I can draw on the OEM 30, a 25, and 15 amp outlets.

I do use my autoformer to support voltage on the OEM 30.

If you arrive with a low battery the converter could draw close to 1000 watts for maybe 30 minutes to charge the battery.
Power will taper off after that. Should have no effect on the intended use.

"Check the voltage at the RV. 120v is a nominal voltage."

Hughes makes a good voltage meter...Amazon at $15

A 10 gauge RV extension cord is a good idea. With a decent dogbone, there’s no worry about regular extension cords. We have a 30’ one in addition to the 30’ main cord.

I keep a Kill A Watt meter plugged into one of the outlets inside the camper to keep an eye on the voltage.

While he's in his parents driveway powered on an extension chord, and wants to use a 1200W or 1500W electric space heater, I would recommend another dedicated 12AWG extension chord tucked through the slide to power this heater. I don't know if I'd trust the cheap camper outlet to power the electric heater while the camper is on an extension chord.

Usally, if running the ac in the summer, i dont have anything else running but the lights. And maybe the radio. This isnt to say you cant run more, but i don't want to chance breaking stuff. Especially the ac compresser.
