Re: [MBZ] Running freezers on extension cord

Heavier wire is better. You can get an extension cord for a travel trailer that is good for 30 amps so likely #10 wire. Just a guess, but I think if you use a heavier cord, your freezers will likely last longer. Randy On 02/09/2022 4:01 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: So I bought this
