Re: electrical question about my second ac

Thank you, I wanted to hear from someone who had this setup. So you just spliced in a new plug at the end of a heavy duty extention cord?494Views0likes0CommentsRe: electrical question about my second ac

Or do I use my extra 30A cord with a 15A adapter for the pedestal and a flat blad adapter for my camper?494Views0likes0CommentsRe: electrical question about my second ac

The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow you to use wire related for less amps than the breaker it is attached to. If the installer used a 20 amp outlet, there is a reason. So how would I know if the plug is 20A?495Views0likes0CommentsRe: electrical question about my second ac

(According to Leviton) Also, you'll find the AC only pulls about 12A running and about 13~14A starting. ok, that's what I was worried about, maxing out the 15A plug. That's for the quick advise.494Views0likes0Commentselectrical question about my second ac
We just had a second ac installed on our 30 amp crusader and I dont know what cord to use. Its a 20A with a straight blade coming out of the camper. Can I use a 15 amp heavy duty cord with a 20A end, plugged into the park 15 amp pedestal? Or do I NEED a 20A source?2.4KViews0likes14CommentsRe: Park near SeaWorld San Antonio?

One of my favorite campgrounds west of San Antonio is located within Castroville Regional Park. It's far enough yet close enough if you know what I mean. Nice park with lots of shade and Castroville is a nice historic area. Good luck. We are about an hour south of Houston. It will be two families with 4 small kids, so looking for cheap and easy. Thanks241Views0likes0CommentsPark near SeaWorld San Antonio?
We are looking to plan a trip to SW SA later in the summer and looking for a good park not to far from SW. I've done some searching but they all look like $50 a night with concrete pads, wifi, and all the fancy stuff. Any clean parks with out the frills?1.7KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Decals are peeling off the Raptor

Haha, I just traded it in......lemme see if I can find one. LOL what did you get? Did the condition of the decals impact your value? I take care of mine pretty well. So, it does not look that bad right now. When I see a sticker start to peel, I brush it and it flakes right off. I keep the thing waxed and clean. But eventually there will be nothing but glue stains left. The next RV I buy will have full body paint and no stickers and it will not be a Keystone... It didn't seem to matter to three different rv dealerships, they still offered the same amount after I told them. I bought it used, so I don't know how it was treated, but I will try my best to keep these looking good! Oh btw, we got a Prime Time Crusader, we pick it up tomorrow!!!!!!156Views0likes0Comments
