Hi All,
I am both new to RV'ing and message boarding, so please forgive my green-ness.
I purchased a new to me 94 Coleman Destiny Pop Up Tent Trailer last summer and have been working hard to get it just right. This summer I took it for several short trips. I found the perfect spot and have now put a down payment on a seasonal site for next summer.
Upon considering living full-time in my trailer, I have come to realize I am going to have one main difficulty - it has no fridge or means of refrigeration! This is a must as we will be over an hour from home, so buying groceries daily and/or using a cooler simply will not work.
So, I was thinking I would pick up a shed and a used fridge and keep the fridge locked up in the shed for the whole season. My concern is thus:
How do I both plug in my trailer to the 30 amp service, and plug in my fridge to keep it running all the time?
When I checked the site there appeared to only be 1 30amp plug, no additional or alternative plugs.
As I need to plug my trailer in to run it's interior lights, and do things like plug in cell phones to charge, I am not sure where I will plug in the fridge. Is there a safe and effective way to split the service?
I do have an adapter to convert my trailer plug from 30 amp to 20amp, but again am not sure how this will help me to plug in the fridge. Any advice or suggestions would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks
