For example, when you\u2019re at home and prepping your RV for a trip, using an adapter will allow you to connect to a standard household outlet, so you can cool the fridge and charge batteries before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use a power cord adapter&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Power cord adapters are easy to use, they simply plug in between your RV\u2019s power cord and the available electrical outlet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Power cord adapter limitations&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although power cord adapters enable you to connect to a connection of a different voltage, if you\u2019re reducing the amps, you won\u2019t be able to run things as usual. Appliances such as air conditioners and microwaves pull a lot of power, so only use them if you have enough voltage, and be careful not to overload.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check out the RV Traveler\u2019s Choice power cord adapter&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;RV Traveler\u2019s Choice power cord adapter&nbsp;allows a larger 30-amp power plug to be connected to a standard household 15-amp outlet.
