Electrical Adapter
Greetings all,
Does anyone know what adapter I need to purchase so I can plug my 17B into my home electrical system? I don't have the removable cord it's attached to the trailer and is a huge 3 prong, not sure how many amps etc. Maiden voyage coming next weekend and would like to pre cool the fridge. Thank you in advance for any info.

Your end is a 30 amp, you will need a 30 -15 amp adapter.

Jackhammer,
Have you looked in all the drawers? You might find one there. It's where I keep mine.

You've got a couple RV repair places there. They should both carry this item or one like it. (Mine is heavy black rubber). Failing that you could check the RV park to see if they have a couple on hand for their customers.

Our local Canadian Tire carries them. If you have CT in Kitimat they're probably open today.

If you use one of those one-piece adapters, such as in the links, you should also use an extension cord (as Paul mentioned) between the outlet and the adapter so that the end of the trailer's cord - with that adapter - is lying on the ground. If you put the one-piece adapter directly into an outlet then plug the trailer's cord in

The big connector with two flat pins at right angles plus a round ground pin is the 30-amp size which is only used for RVs. Trivia: this is called the "TT-30" connection... although in RV part descriptions it's usually just called "30-amp", because it is the only kind of 30-amp outlet found in campsites.
