We're renting an RV to drive out of state to visit family. A critical question I forgot to ask the guy who is renting the RV to us - will we be able to plug the RV into a standard home outlet? The rental guide says it comes with a 110-adapter, but it doesn't say how many amps. I'm not sure the house we're visiting has anything but common wall outlets, the kind you plug a TV or hair-dryer into. The rental office is closed today, so I can't call him, and we're leaving Monday. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

Look for a label or plaque that indicates the cord's maximum capacity.

Our family camper truck had a regular (but heavy) 110V cord on it, to support the small fridge, TV, and a space heater. We just plugged it into a standard wall outlet in the garage when we were home.

    Im pretty sure it should be ok, we plug our travel trailer into our power all the time.
