I have a new 2021 Forest River Vibe 28RL travel trailer. My wife and I are taking it to stay with my daughter in Indiana. We planned to sleep in the trailer at her home and run one of the two AC units (rated at 13500 BTU/1400 watts = cooling) when we sleep, The problem is that my daughter's house only has standard 15A/120V AC current.
If I only operate ONE of the two air conditioners in the trailer, can I plug a 30A to 15A converter into the trailer's power input, connect it to a 10 Gauge 15A/120V/1875 Watt capacity extension cord and plug the cord into the home's outside power outlet - and run the AC unit?
Also, if the answer to the above question is yes, I would also like to put a surge protector inline with the house outlet. Should that be a 15AMP surge protector or a 30AMP surge protector?
