I've been reading the posts talking about adapters, testers, etc. until my head is swimming. Would someone tell me what I need to plug my rpod into household power? Can I just get a heavy duty extension cord and an adapter? Yes? |

Yes. You have it exactly right. Unless you have a 30amp household circuit you won't be able to run the air and the oven at the same time, but how often will that really matter? TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

Thanks for your quick reply. So the adapter is, on one end a regular grounded plug, male, and, on the other end, a 30 amp female?

Thanks!
I bought a surge protector. Should I include that in the daisy chain, as it were? |
