After a long search and some 30 hrs of driving from Michigan to Kentucky to Ohio to New York to Ohio and back to Michigan looking at campers, I just brought home a 1968 Wildcat Model 18.
It will be our second restoration however the first was a 2000 Viking 2107st popup with lots of water damage. We even went so far as to put a bathroom in it. That being said, we know what we are getting into with the Wildcat.
However, I was not expecting to see that it has a female power inlet. Which means it comes with an extension cord with male 3 prongs on both ends. I want to swap it out for a 30 amp hookup. Is it as simple as putting in a 30 amp plug and breaker box? Or is there something more detailed? Could I even just put in a male 110v plug and leave the rest alone?
We will be putting in a new fridge, on demand water heater (propane) as well as a new stereo and maybe a microwave or toaster oven.
Any help will be appreciated. I have done a lot of searching but I am not finding anything that is clear cut on this as it does seem pretty rare.
