Forums turned a bit balky in the last few minutes after this afternoon's network move. Do you know that you can't use a 30A-to-15A adapter to run the A/C? If you run the A/C on only 15 amps it strains and damages the compressor sooner rather than later -- expensive repair! The socket receptacle should have the same pattern as the end of the 30A cord. Some owners have had an electrician wire in a 30 amp circuit to run their A/C at home but this is not common. All's fine if you've taken care of that already.

It is okay to plug in your Bambi with a 15 amp adapter -- everything except the air conditioner runs just fine off 15 amps.

Hope this gets through!
