In a "prior life", I bred Dachshunds, and was an all breed handler. I also bred and showed Morgan Horses, for 20 +/- years. I spent a lot of time in "Temporary" shore power sites, at fairgrounds from Nova Scotia to Minneapolis, and points south as far as Orlando

"Fairgrounds" are notorious for CR*PPY electrical pedestal supplies that are even reversed polarity sometimes (HOT CHASSIS), when your dogs step off of the last step to the ground, they get ZAPPED!

I strongly suggest a polarity / ground detector tool (cheap at Lowe's)! Plug it into the 15 amp side of the pedestal and check for all 3 green lights, even before you go to "Surge Protected" shore power.

Good Luck, Go for 5 Point Majors, and CDX!!!!
