It's quite odd this thread would appear in my active threads again. Yesterday (Sunday June 17) we pulled into a little private campground South of Lafayette, Indiana. This is a totally unplanned stop. We were suppose to stay at the in-laws farm, but they had no power in the barn. And with temps in the 90's, in a barn lot with no shade, that's just impossible. So we scrambled for an alternative and found this little park.
They had 2 spots available and gave us (a really, really, really nice spot). Got pulled in as the owner guided me (the spot is very tricky getting into to miss sewer lines and such, tight turn, on a hill, very strange .... but oh, what a spot.
Well, after getting in, the owner was very happy with our position (hey, his campground, I'll do it his way, no problem... It's turned out to be perfectly level and everything. fantastic .... he knows his property!)
Anyway, got ready to plug into power (he's gone by now) and found it the power post had only a 50 amp plug. Not even any 20's any more. And absolutely no 30.
I made a hard swallow and then remember that 50 to 30 amp adaptor buried somewhere in my trailer pass-through. So, I started pulling everything out, and there it was! Plugged in, powered right up, and everything truly was GREAT!
So, maybe, this is now the 2nd time, ever, in 20 years I've used it. But hey, it was worth having it Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week!
Did I say, this is one awesome campground! I mean ... private, quiet, clean, full hook-up, shade, nice people, great management, and gated. I can tell they work very hard to keep this place as nice as it is, and absolutely no riff-raff here! I'm impressed!
In a way, the barn loosing power turned out to be "very, very sweet lemonade" for us... if you know what I mean!
If you haven't picked up the adaptor yet, buy all means, get it. If you travel to different campgrounds all the time ... eventually, will will be glad you have it! It may take 20 years, but when you do ... you'll be so glad you took the time to get it!
