110 inlet location?

I was staying at a friends house and just assumed I could plug into shore power using a standard 110 extension cord. Could not find it. Tried the Manual but it was not much help.

Does it exist in my 2013 30ft International?

Thanks in advance

Your shore power cord has a 30amp 120v plug. You need an adapter in order to plug into a 15amp or 20amp 120v outlet.

So-called "dogbone" adapters with a 90° bend on the 15-amp end work best because they don't put as much weight cantilevered off the outlet.

You can plug into a standard household outlet with the adapter shown above. Keep in mind that if you do this, you will not have sufficient amperage to run your air conditioner or heat pump. I would also suggest against using the electric water heater function.

Or, if he's a very good friend, and you go there often, you could pay to install a 30 amp outlet. My family has them already.
