Plugging in at home?

[NekkidFish]

In the past when we rented RV's, we would pick it up, bring it to the house, and plug in the RV in the garage to have things running while we loaded up.

After reading a ton on here, I have a feeling we weren't supposed to be plugging into a regular plug at the house, but using some sort of converter.

Is that right? Or, are we okay plugging the 30-amp in at home?

Thanks! Jules

You probably know this, but just in case...don't plug into your 30 amp dryer plug. It is 220 volt, not 110.

just be careful if you're plugged in at home and cooling the fridge - make sure your trailer is sitting level.

Go easy on power use as you can easily trip the home breaker.

Glad to got it figured out that you didn't need a male to male adapter.

THIS is the one that I use to keep my RV plugged in at Home 24/7 while not on the road.

Look in the rv section at Walmart.

I am looking on Amazon (I have a big credit there), but I am not seeing any male to male adapters. They are all female to male or vice versa. ???

The previous owners lived in a TT while the house was being built, and they installed a meter for the TT way out the driveway, so we could use that. But, it is far away from the house and not real convenient for loading/unloading.

If you guys could provide a link to one, I would really appreciate it. Thx!

You must have used an adapter and that is all you need. Good to go.

When plugged in at home, the converter, converts 120 VAC to 12 volt DC to operate the lights etc. It will also allow for the use of the microwave & Air conditioner which require 120 VAC. When not plugged in to shore power, the batteries on board are your only power source, but will only operate the 12 volt appliances on board.

What you need is an "adaptor" that changes a 30 Amp 120VAC 3 Male Pins (H,N and G) to a 15 Amp 120 VAC 3 Male Pins (H, N and G). And, as said, do not try to run the Air Conditioner on a 15 Amp circuit.
