Question Extension to electrical cable?

I was wondering if there is an extension to your electrical cable when you hooked up to a 120 volt outlet? I don’t know if such a thing exists or even if it would be considered being safe. I haven’t started to look for an item like this, but I thought I would try asking here first.

If you are asking if there are extension cords for an RV 30-amp or 50-amp cord the answer is "yes". Many choices out there. Some better than others.

I think you're asking for what people commonly refer to as a dog bone. If you have a 50A or 30A power cable to your TT and you want to plug into a 15A (120v) outlet, there is such a device that's usually under a foot in length (see picture).

Now, if you're referring to adding an extension cord to your TT power cable to reach a 120v outlet (perhaps at your house), you'll want a 14 gauge wire extension cord (the smaller the number gauge, the heavier or thicker the wire). Buying a heavier gauge cord that's being used to plug in at home would be a waste of money since your home's circuit breaker would flip if you tried to draw more current than your house wiring would/could handle.

Offer us more insight to what you are trying to do or you'll be getting ideas of all sorts as we attempt to interpret.Click image for larger version
