In regard to driveway camping, can I buy an adapter to convert m 50 amp trailer to run off 110 garage outlet ?
I appreciate your help.
Thx!

Yes, but, it will be easy to overload the circuit and then the breaker for the garage will trip. Just don't run to many things at once.

yes, you can get adapters 15 amp to 30 to 50 but you will be limited to 15/20 amps of use. just fine for keeping a trickle charger etc. going.

I store my camper in a shed on my farm. In the winter I sometimes go "Camping" in the shed. I can grill out food out there and I use the time to go through stuff in the camper and take out anything that I don't need.

You would be surprised how much junk can build up in something as small as a 19 foot TT.

This is an easy one. I would just tell my wife that what she is suggesting is a bit unreasonable, and something I would never do. However, because of my easy-going nature, I won't stand in her way, if it's what she wants to do.

I never treat my wife like a child, so if she's interested camping at home in the winter, I assume she's capable of learning how to make it possible, and making the necessary repairs if something goes wrong.

Armed with the facts, I'm reasonably certain she'll reach the same, informed decision as me, and leave the trailer in the storage facility where it belongs.

If that first paragraph is how you would put it to your wife, I would suspect she'd be more likely to leave you in the storage facility.

^Wut?
Plug it in, fire up the heater, giver a gallon or 2 of windshield washer fluid to flush the potty with and live it up!

It’s winter in Indiana and my wife “misses” the camper.

It’s about 1/2 mile from our home in a storage facility.

She is asking me to bring it home and warm it up so she can enjoy it in the driveway over the holidays.

She wants the heat and toilet to work but it’s winterized and I’m thinking the house hook up would freeze.

I’m thinking she’s going to have to use the hose bathroom but, if there’s a safe way to get water to the camper without using the tank, I’d hook it up for her.

Suggestions? ( and please hold the smart a** ones)

Thanks!

I like the way your wife thinks. I bet she's a fun person all around. :B

Do what your wife says.

One more positive. Costs ZERO for vehicle fuel to get to your RV campsite and no travel time required or traffic either!
