Extension Cord Question

Postby joefriday122 » Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:28 am

Hello all,

I am looking at an Outbound Extreme squaredrop model. It has an extension cord to connect the air conditioner to a power source, Should that be a concern? The camper does not have any other appliances -- no electric cooler, water pump, heater, etc...It only has the A/C unit. I have been used to seeing the 30amp, 3-prong cords. Will this set up still work in most parks with hook ups?

Please pardon my ignorance if this is a dumb question. I am a total newby to this world.

Thanks for any advice and input.

That should work just fine.

Many campground power poles also have a 20A household style outlet that should work for a standard extension cord to power your AC

!4 gauge cord will do but I would go with a 12 gauge cord.

I use a 10 AWG extension cord for my air conditioner ... the cord is 50 feet long.
