...and beware of the "rv extension cords" that they sell at Wally-world. I was just in there looking at them, and while they "look" super-heavy-duty, on closer inspection, I could see clearly stamped into the insulation "16/3". which is very "light-duty".
I don't know why they'd go to the trouble of making these things with such heavy insulation; what the heck is that gonna do? the things were huge...probably as big, or almost as big around as the 10/3 cord in the trailer.
I've used a 12/3 extension cord without any problem, although most probably wouldn't recommend it. Perhaps the electrical guru's could explain it again....but the heaviest wire in my trailer is 12/3. I've got 12/3 runs in my house that are longer than this extension cord.
