This year will be our first year camping and have some questions about electrical power hookups. We will only be staying in campgrounds with electric and water while we get accustomed to the camper and learn the "ins and outs". We bought a Trail Runner 27RKS and it comes with a 25' 30 amp cord. After reading many forum posts, I discovered for added protection and piece of mind, I would need a surge protector and would probably want a 25' extension cord for those times I am farther away from the hookup and a 50 amp to 30 amp reducer in case I only have a 50 amp hookup or its a shared box and the 30 amp is already taken. So I bought those things and want to make sure I hook things up right. In my mind, I think the following scenarios would be right and please correct me if wrong.
If using a 30 amp service plug-in, Surge protector first, then extension cord (if needed), then cord that's attached to trailer?
If using 50 amp service plug-in, Reducer first, then surge protector then extension cord (if needed) then the cord that's attached to the trailer?
Thanks in advance for your input!
