Re: Electric cooler off of 12 volts

Thanks much! this conflicts with your other statement. will run fine IMHO on shore power. suggesting dumping your $59 cooler for a $800 one seem unhelpful. bumpy I see no conflicting information. OP obviously has a 12 volt plug available in an area where there is no 120 volt ac plug. For whatever reason (OP’s business) he would prefer to locate the cooler in that location. As has already been stated, as long as he is plugged into shore power, his converter should easily keep up with the draw of the cooler. While this may not be the most efficient use of power, it will work fine.790Views0likes0CommentsRe: How often do you use/need a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter?
I actually used one this weekend... for two reasons...One yes the 50 amp receptacle was in better shape than the 30. But two and most importantly, the power post was far enough away that even after using my 25 foot 10 gage 30 amp extension cord in addition to the cord attached to my trailer, I was still about a foot too short to reach the outlet without stretching the cord into the air. The 50 amp to 30 amp pigtail gave me just enough extra length to comfortably plug in to the pole. This was a somewhat unusual campground where many sites are set up to allow group camping on a single site. The site actually had 2 power poles each containing a 20, 30, and a 50 amp plug. The entire campground is set up like this with sites labeled “1 or more” or “2 or more” they are all first come first served with no reservations.301Views0likes0Comments
