New to the RV World

Just picked up a used 165 today. I have never had a travel trailer before so this will be a new experience. I need to get power to it in my driveway and start figuring everything out.

Welcome aboard!

A good 12 gauge extension cord, will let you run most items. Just not all of them at the same time.

Welcome from Northern Ontario.
Agree that a 12 ga cord, short as possible will work. I ran my fridge and lights in my 5th wheel in driveway.
Have fun.
