On the adaptors. I see two types in the stores. The first are typically a hard plastic, similar to the smaller household adaptors many of us have seen over the years to plug in the newer three prong grounded cords into older 2 prong outlets (Anyone who has lived in an older house should know of these.), that causes your power cord to stand off the outlet 2 to 4 inches depending on the adaptor. The other type seem to be around a 1 foot pigtail with the different connector ends.
What is the advantage ofeach of these? The hard plastic units seem to be cheaper, however I could see them creating more of a twisting force on the connection as the hanging weight of the cord is placed further from the pole, although with te 'beefyness' of a 50 amp plug, I'm not sure this would be much of an issue. There may also be issues with not allowing the outlet cover to close properly.
Thanks for any information.
