I am getting overwhelmed. We are getting ready to move out of the s/b and into the 5er in about a month. So many questions.
have seen a 12volt slow cooker at camping world. Do I need to get that I can I use the one I already have, the one I use at the house?
Seems like a dumb question and trust me I will have a whole lot more!

So long as you are parked, you can use the slow cooker from the house. No need to buy a special one.
And I know what you mean about overwhelmed... Making all these decisions about stuff that took a lifetime to accumulate is mind taxing!

Granny, as long as you are plugged into the campground outlet, (called shore power) you have 115 volt power and will be able to use any appliance that you use in a home. This is assuming of course that you will be in a typical campground setting. Now you may not be able to run multiple appliances at the same time because electrical power is somewhat restricted because of the size of the cord connecting your trailer to the shore power. You will find out which can and cannot run at the same time soon enough. It will be your high power appliances namely and thing that uses electrical current to produce heat. For instance if you have a coffee maker going and you turn on the hair dryer you may blow a fuse. Any question you may have this is a good place to get the answers lots of knowledgeable people, so ask away.
