We are about to get out on our maiden voyage in our used Apex trailer. This past weekend I sanitized the water system and in so doing got the water pump and water heater running. The only problem we found in that system is a leak in the shower right where the shower hose connects to the wall. I am hoping it is an easy fix under the panel where the hot and cold water handles are. This is only a long weekend trip and it only leaks when I turn on the shower water. We can survive without the shower for the weekend if necessary.
But of more concern for me and my wife is the electric problem we found. We connect up to the house current through a regular 3 prong plug at the house and a 30 amp plug at the trailer. We ran the AC today and a couple of times the power to the AC cut out (also happened when we ran the microwave), a circuit breaker in the house tripped. Doing a little research, it looks like the power from a regular plug is insufficient for the AC. That got me thinking I need a 30 amp to 30 amp power cord for the campground or we will have the same issue there. I am told the campsite is a 50 amp site. Will it only have a 50 amp connection or will there likely be a 30 amp as well? Should I get a converter extension so my 30 to 30 amp cord can be connected to a 50 amp outlet?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
