Are there any electricians on the board?

[KraTToR]

I do a lot of car camping and I try and rent a site with electrical service so that I have power to charge my trolling motor batteries and other accessories such as my cell phone, laptop, etc.

 

I've been toying with the idea of making a small weatherproof distribution box to utilize the 30 amp service. Something that I could plug a 30 Amp RV cable into and it would have 2 or 3 standard 15 amp receptacles.

 

I use a large kitchen tent over a picnic table to house my stove, cooler, and supplies so something small that I could put on a shelf would be ideal.

 

Of course everything would be rated for outdoor use.

 

Here is an idea of what I'm thinking about although this example is a bit too large.

Power bars are much cheaper, some have surge protectors built in. There are also "dog bones" that adapt from 30 to 15 amp or you can buy the plugs and run 2 x 15's from 1 x 30 amp.
