I plan on boondocking most of the time, especially when I'm alone. With my wife's pending retirement looming all too soon, I will be venturing into parks and organised campsites more often. Do you think it will be necessary for me to have a 25-30 ft extension for my 30 amp shore power cord?
I don't have a problem dropping the cash, but do I really need to haul this thing around if I don't need it? I'm sure it will depend on how close I can get to the power source but is this going to be the case more often than not? |

My problem is, I carry enough 'stuff' as it is. Don't need more. More 'stuff = more weight.
