Charlotte F on Apr 20, 2014Generator sounded like a good idea to me, but my husband said it would have to set 10 feet from the trailer and would be as loud as a lawn mower. Thanks for your very kind suggestion.Helpful Reply

Lisa on Apr 20, 2014There is an attachment to take the retailer's three prong cord and turn it into a two prong cord. Then you can plug that into any exterior or interior outlet. What you have to be sure of is that the plug can handle a 30 amp system, which is what mist trailers are. Check with a camping store near you or online such as camping world dot com.Helpful Reply

Lisa on Apr 20, 2014And that should have said "trailer's" not retailer's. This Kindle has a mind of its own sometimes!Helpful Reply

Karen Trochta on Apr 20, 2014We have a travel trailer and my husband has wired a plug just for it and on it's own breaker. Check w/ an electrician about this. It can be done. Then they should be able to use all the appliances in the trailer.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Apr 21, 2014There are small window units available that might fit in the window of the trailer that run on 110 volt. The extra open space in the open window around the unit would have to be filled in but a small frame can be easily fitted.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Apr 22, 2014The breaker will continue to trip regardless of the size of the extension cord used. Most campers use a 30 amp minimum breaker size. You will find that many have a different style plug on the end where most folks purchase an adaptor to use in the standard wall outlet. The issue is there is the wall outlet is not suitable for use on such a large load. It sounds as though you will need a electrical contractor to install a outlet on the outside of the home that will accept the style plug that the camper uses. If the AC is a window type, and you can run a separate power cord for just it, purchase a 20 amp extension cord which are expensive and use that alone for the ac by itself. But the best way is to get an electrical contractor in to wire it properly and safely for you.Helpful Reply

Charlotte Farley on Apr 22, 2014The less expensive way it seems is to purchase an adapter to use in the standard wall outlet. But is this safe? The other option sounds expensive to use once or twice in the lifetime of our RVHelpful Reply

Charlotte Farley on Apr 23, 2014I spoke to my nephew who knows his stuff about such things. He said I could get an adapter and plug it into an outlet from the house. I think that is what a couple of you had said. We can turn the camper around and the cord from the camper will reach a standard outlet with the adapter. I don't know why this thing took so long for me to understand, but I think I finally have it. I will talk to a friend tomorrow who sells campers and be sure all is kosher. Thanks for all your answersHelpful Reply
