Wondering if others have thoughts on this?
In national, state or county parks we usually back into sites with the windshield area facing the road into the site. Usually the best view and the most privacy would be in the back of the rig. Most sites seem to be set up for back in regarding ease of hooking up to usually electric and sometime water...usually not sewer in these type of parks and easy access to picnic table/fire pit.
The problem is electrical hook up. My built in cord is fairly long but not long enough to pull in head first and still reach the electrical box. Is there any problem with using a longer 10 gauge extension cord (which I have) using the proper adapters in a 50 amp or 30 amp outlet box?
Should I buy an RV 50 amp extension cord for this purpose?
Any other thoughts are appreciated.
