Home or campground electrical connections don’t always match your RV’s electrical system, and that’s when a power cord adapter comes in handy.
When to use a power cord adapter
If you find yourself with a power connection that is lower or greater than your RV’s electrical system, a power cord adapter will enable you to connect and draw power. For example, when you’re at home and prepping your RV for a trip, using an adapter will allow you to connect to a standard household outlet, so you can cool the fridge and charge batteries before you go.
How to use a power cord adapter
Power cord adapters are easy to use — they simply plug in between your RV’s power cord and the available electrical outlet.
Power cord adapter limitations
Although power cord adapters enable you to connect to a connection of a different voltage, if you’re reducing the amps, you won’t be able to run things as usual. Appliances such as air conditioners and microwaves pull a lot of power, so only use them if you have enough voltage, and be careful not to overload.
The RV Traveler’s Choice power cord adapter
