Some of you may have read my recent thread titled "Extension cords." I learned that I didn't need an extension cord, at least not yet and I also feel more educated about the subject, thank you; however, I am once again stumped.
We went to Home Depot and also to Wal-Mart looking for 30 amp power cords. A guy at Home Depot said we'd have to order that from an RV place. Disappointed, but okay. We got some other RV paraphenalia LOL and went home happy.
At home, we decided to take the regular orange extension cord we already had and using the starter kit adapter, at least get some power to the rig and open the slide. The female side of the adapter does not match the plug-in located on the outside of our RV. So we are thinking, "Ok. Let's go get a 15a to 30a adapter." Once back at Wal-Mart, we realized that dogbone wouldn't fit either.
So now we are home again and disgusted. No way at the moment to power the slide. I think we might be missing something, but I'm not sure what. Sandy thinks they gave us the wrong adapter at the dealer and wants us to call them tomorrow. I guess that is a possibility. The more I sit here, the more possible I think it is that we didn't get everything we were supposed to.
Also, where is a good place to order a 30 amp power cord from? I looked earlier and saw one from WalMart and one from Home Depot, but those don't look right either. Are the male end and female ends standardized? I'd like to send a picture of the RV's plug-in for you, but don't see an option for photos. There has to be one lol. I'll send it in this thread if possible.
So again, any suggestions?
