So we're bringing our European camper to the US soon and need to make a few alterations to suit US camping practicalities.
Internally we use 230v electrical power in Europe, of course power in the US is 110v. We have a number of electrical devices that are 230v including the battery charger. As many will know a common method is to use a 'Step-Up' transformer, these are used on construction sites in the UK so not completely unknown.
What we need to know is what type of plug and socket type(s) are used in US campgrounds. Do they vary, are there different types for different regions, is it the same for camping as commecial use etc etc.
But most of all what do the plug(s) and socket(s) look like? Help please.
Is it possible to post a few photos of what these look like?
We have an electrical company here who will make us a 30' lead/cord with a plug to connect into the transformer, but they need to know what is in common use in US campgrounds for the other end.
Thanks for any help
