hello, i just purchased a cavalier as a temporary living space. i had a mobile home in the PA mountains which served as a camp for years until it met with an untimely disaster. while I demo the old place we need a place to live, eat, and relax. so my question is i have a meter on the pole how do i configure that to work with the GS? i didnt pay too much attention to how the power hooked up..are there 2 plugs? is one 12v and the other 110? any help would be appreciated.

update. i happened to see one of these trailers at a car lot. i stopped and looked. there is a large plug for 110 60hz ( it looks like a 220 plug in configuration ) and there were 2 normal 110 style plugs with no labels on them...does 110 plug in here as well and it is converted down to 12v?? or is 12v plugged in there?

You should have a shore power cord that will hook up to either 30 amp or 50 amp. The 30 amp circuit is 120 volts, the 50 is 230 volt but you can get an adapter that ties the two hot legs together if 50 amp is not available. Only plug into an outlet that is configured for the plug on you camper.
There should be a converter inside that charges the batter and supplies 12 volt power.
Good luck......Tim
