Converting Cargo Trailers into TTTs

I've found 25 to be too much in many places.

Put your shore power inlet on the left (driver's) side of your camper, since that is where the power poles are almost always going to be. Then, a 25 foot cord is plenty. I have a 25 foot, 12 Gauge cord, and have never had a problem.

I've always found two 25 ft. and one 50 ft. 30 amp cords plus one 50 ft. 20 amp cord to be enough.

But seriously, 25 ft. will work at most campgrounds.. :thumbsup:
