1. Find the shore power cord

   • Locate the 30-amp shore power cord.

   • It is usually coiled and stored in the dinette area.

2. Check the plug type

   • The 30-amp plug looks slightly different from a standard household plug.

3. Choose the correct outlet

   • If you have a 30-amp outlet: plug the cord directly into it.

   • If you only have a regular home outlet:

     • Find the 30-amp to 15-amp adapter in the top kitchen drawer.

     • Attach the adapter so the cord can plug into a normal household outlet.

4. Open the shore power inlet

   • Open the lid on the outside power inlet of the RV/trailer.

5. Insert the power cord

   • Line up the plug so the green indicator light is slightly to the left.

   • Push the plug straight into the inlet until it is fully seated.

6. Lock the plug in place

   • Turn the cord slightly to the right to lock it.

7. Secure the collar (depending on your cord type)

   • Grooved collar:

     • Feel for the grooves.

     • Slide the collar into position and twist slightly to tighten.

   • Threaded collar:

     • Screw the collar onto the threaded inlet until it is snug.

8. Disconnect when finished

   • Loosen the collar (or unthread it).

   • Turn the cord slightly to the left.

   • Pull the plug out.

9. Finish up

   • Close the inlet lid.

   • Store the power cord safely back in its storage area.
