Electrical differences?

We want to travel with our RPod in both USA and Canada. Should we be prepared for any differences in connecting to electrical?

You will need metric adapters for electric pedestals at campgrounds.

Do you get those at the same place you get the metric potable water hose adapters?

You will have no problems with electricity in Canada, it is identical to electricity in the USA. Plugs cords receptacles volts and frequency etc. all the same. Enjoy and have fun.

The variety of amp power connections (20amp/30amp/50amp) and the connectors themselves are identical in Canada and the USA.

HOWEVER.....sometimes they reference the power outlets as “hydro” power.
It’s the same thing as electrical power, just insert the word “hydro”.

It’s a Canadian thing.

You get them as the same place to convert gallons to liters and adapter for speedometer to convert it from mph to km/hour.

Don't forget to convert your tire pressure from PSI to kPa before crossing the border or you could get a ticket.
