Hi Mike, Have you heard about these splices? They’re pricing, but I really like the ones that have the tab for screwing the splice down. I don’t think I would want to use them every day, but there are places under my hood where they would work well. spliseal.com

I’ve never had any luck plugging into a GFCI circuit on either of my coaches. Not a reliable power source at all.

I thought you would say not to use a GFCI since you’ve noted before that residential fridges can pop them. I know mine can.

Legally you have to plug into a GFCI on a 15/20-amp Edison outlet. There appears to be a code workaround allowing you to install a 30-amp TT-30 receptacle on a 20-amp breaker at your residence without a GFCI as long as there’s no other receptacles on that branch circuit. But I need to confirm that exception with CMP-7 (Code Making Panel 7) of the NEC since they’re in charge of RV campground wiring.

As I have my 26’ RV plugged into a 20amp house plug. 🔌 I only

Allow auto battery charger and 1

LED light. So far so good!

Thankyou.

Should be fine. Just make sure you keep the extension cord connectors clean and shiny by spraying them with contact cleaner periodically. And don't let any power plugs lay on the ground where they can get wet.
