I am not sure what to search for, so I just did a search "30 AMP" and "connecting to 30 amp" in the forums and could not find anything that applies to my issue...
Starting out, I will not have enough funds for solar and I need to stay at an RV park for a month or two. This means I need a way to connect to their 30/50 amp receptacle. I am guessing I should plug into the lower amperage.
So what do I need? I am lost on this one. Some kind of extension cord, (fused somehow and what gauge and max feet length?) or a heavy duty fused power strip? how do I step it down from 30 amp to the regular 110v (?amp? power strip so I can plug in a laptop or blender or hotplate)? What if I have a window unit air conditioner (5,000 or 8,000 BTU?) Do I have one dedicated line for the air conditioner and one for the power strip?
I have only camped in tents with no electric, so I am new to this. I do appreciate any kind of feedback.
