RV Parks Charging

[darth_vad3r]

Guess I could just use one of these

Don't need 100 of them though ... don't need the 'ball' factor that the ChargePoint clamps have that prevent them from being retracted too far by the counterweight either, since I'll be using my own retractor.

I guess zip ties would work too ... but don't want to dig into the cable too much (if it's mine).

So... I need to add zip ties, duct tape, cable clamps, and a tool balancer to my charge kit ... shopping time ...

The neat thing about TT-30 is that there are a number of products intended for mobile RV usage that are also useful for EVs, and at relatively reasonable prices. So I've created a whole "30 amp" charging kit around it. Besides the evseadapters TT-30 adapter, I have a 25' Camco TT-30 extension cable (600V rated cable - about $34 on amazon), various adapters for it to allow plugging into 5-15, 6-30, and 14-30/50/60. Also a 5-15R to TT-30P adapter to allow plugging a 5-15 into it. The 5-15R to TT-30P and the TT-30R to 5-15P adapters are off-the-shelf RV products. (Yes, I should replace them with 5-20 versions.) The 6-30 and the 14-30/50/60 are homemade.

The kit was useful on a recent trip where I had to do a couple nights of RV park charging with the 14-50. I used the TT-30 extension cable and 5-15 adapter to power the laptop and other 120V stuff.
