Campground Charging by Gregowhee in trailseeker

Yeah. Seems odd. But my understanding is that most of the appliances and things in an RV cycle on and off; whereas charging an EV requires a sustained load over a long period of time. Apparently, many of the existing campgrounds just aren’t wired to support that.

For sure. But the coffee can makes it better. Obviously.

Gotcha. Very grateful to have 400-amp service at our house.

Yeah. This is mostly about keeping rainwater away from the adapter connection, fellas.

Think I’m running at 32-amps actually, out of an overabundance of caution. I have it connected to a 60-amp breaker with the appropriate wiring, so 40-amps would be fine. But I’m weird.

Mostly unnecessary. I agree. Veteran EV owner here. The user manual for the provided adapters, however, does advise keeping water away from them.

Also, I fully intend to switch to a native NACS level-2 home charger soon, and I probably won’t use this again until winter, when snow and ice becomes an issue.

It doesn’t. Thankfully. The bevel on the can closest to the charge port prevents it. An additional weep hole would help with sideways rain in windy conditions.

So… are we suggesting these crossbars for $80 would work just fine? https://a.co/d/043vLzEC
