Electrical hookups in Canada
Probably a silly question, but are the plugs the same in Canada as US, or do we need an adapter as we did in England?

Here are pictures of the adapter that I was referring to. Note that both sides of the duplex are tied together and internally connected to the 30 amp RV outlet.
This adapter was originally available from Camping World, but because of the situation that I described above, they removed it. I later bought a couple of them for use on my Honda EU2000's, and noted that they were not available to Canadian customers.
In no way am I slamming or otherwise pointing a negative finger toward anyone or Canada, but just pointing out a situation that I found while trying to use this particular adapter.
I agree that I would never ever plug my RV into any receptacle without first testing it.
Actually bought one of these to use with my Champion genny, bought it up here. Wouldn't use it on the post unless I was sure it was only wired with a single 15amp circuit. Can't recall here in Ontario at any Provincial Park seeing dble 15amp breakers for the regular household receptacle. Split dble 15amp receptacles are usually only in the kitchen.
