ALWAYS completely UN-Coil your power cord, when coiled up they can get hot. I have seen extension cords coiled up and energized and it started a fire. NOT good. Great video on the camping world, a good primer for power out in the wild. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.

We went to spend a day with some friends at an RV park on a nice lake that was no where near any charging stations so I took my cord and rented a site near them for the day for $20 and plugged in when we got there and had plenty charge to make it home when we left. I rented a site with 50 amps though as that's what plug I have.

I’m both a RV and Tesla owner, so I have the same TT-30 outlet at my house that most campgrounds have. I bought the TT-30 adapter (as you say, from EVSE) and it works great. My goal is to either bring my model 3 along on camping trips, or actually camp in i some day. It’s also nice to have another charging option at home, as well as being able to use campgrounds as a backup charging option, in case we got stuck on the road.

You should do a video on charging your Tesla campaign with a generator. You will need a grounding bonding adapter for the generator for Tesla to recognize the generator power.

NEMA 14-50 adapter => 240 volts * 32 amps = 7,680 watts per hour TT-30P => 120 volts * 24 amps = 2,880 watts per hour 20 Amp => 120 volts * 16 amps = 1,920 watts per hour 15 Amp => 120 volts * 12 amps = 1,440 watts per hour NEMA 14-50 maxes at 32 amps because the Gen 2 charger is limited to 32 amps. You could do 40 amps if your charger supported it. TT-30P is 24 amps on a 30 amp circuit as that is 80% of the circuit capacity. 20 Amp is 16 amps on a 20 amp circuit as that is 80% of the circuit capacity. So if 15 amps is the baseline (1x): 20 Amp = 30% faster (1.3x) TT-30P = 100% faster (2x) NEMA 14-50P = 433% faster (5.3333x) Using a base assumption of 267 Wh/mile on a Model 3 (YMMV), 15 amp: 5.4 miles per hour 20 amp: 7.2 miles per hour TT-30P: 10.8 miles per hour 14-50P: 28.8 miles per hour Get a NEMA 14-50 outlet every time you can, it is nearly 3x faster (166.67%) than the TT-30.

@@EHermesGlad to help! I know it's 2 years late :-) While the TT-30 is better than a 15 or even 20 amp circuit, the NEMA 14-50 wins every time if charging speed is your goal. When 14-50 isn't available, the TT-30 IS better. I have adapters for TT-30 to 14-50 just so the charger itself will not internally limit the charging speed because of the adapter selected. Cheers!

Wait, how does the 120v15a adapter know to draw only 15 amps when connected to a 20 amp outlet? I'm making the assumption the electrical connection is identical on a 120v20a outlet regardless which plug you use. I'm guessing that the adapters aren't the "dumb" type.

Very informative video! It's too bad Tesla doesn't make a TT-30 adapter. It's nice to see EVSE does, however. I plan on getting the aftermarket TT-30 just in case the camp ground doesn't have a NEMA 14-50. I would hate to have to go from 14-50 to 5-20 and skip over TT-30 haha.

One could have used the Gen 2 Nema Adapter 5-20 on the campground 20amp socket, and you will get 16amps charge as apposed to using the 5-15 adapter that only gives you 12 amps.

I had my Tesla plugged into the 20amp outlet at the RV campsite but I was only using the standard plug that came with the car which is only 15amp. My car was charging around 3-4 miles per hour. Now I have purchase the 20amp adapter and next time will use that and double the miles charge.

@@EarlBalentine You will go from 12 to 16 Amps 120V. It would make more sense to get a TT-30 which gives you the 24 Amps you are dreaming of. Best would be to use the 15-40 220V at 36 Amps if the campground supports 50 Amps.
