Can I convert my 30 amp plug to plug into 110 outlet?
I will try to explain the best I can but am clueless about electrical converting!
I am looking to see if I can buy a converter or something to make my 30 amp plug from my TT plug into a regular 110 outlet. If I can will I be able to run lights, AC, water pump, etc.?
From time to time I will be staying at a dragstrip and they have the regular 110 outlets on poles to plug stuff into and I never ran into this situation with my TT before. Thanks in advance!!

RE: 08 Suburban pulling a 08 Jayco Jayflight G2 29BHS
Yes, I have been enjoying my trailer for almost a year now! The funny part about this is I pulled this trailer with my 2000 E150 conversion van 4.6L/3.55 gear! Like no_bytes said I do live in the Midwest and it is pretty flat around here except for the small hills. I do have a trans temp gauge and a trans cooler on the TV so I will just have to keep an eye on it.

Weigh scales around N.W. Indiana and Illinois border
Can anyone give me any info on where I can find weigh scales to weigh my vehicle and trailer within the Northwest Indiana (Hammond,Munster,Gary,etc) and/or Illinois border? Do rest stops have them? Does truck stops have them?
Thanks

RE: 08 Suburban pulling a 08 Jayco Jayflight G2 29BHS
Thanks for the info Humpty.
1. I do have a Trans temp gauge. Now another question, what is the max trans temp and/or a good operating trans temp range while pulling a trailer?
2. The OEM hitch, I dont know about really, Ive been hearing good/bad about the Tahoes which are they the same??? Im not sure... That was another question I had...
3. The gears I will wait to see what this does first im thinking...

RE: 08 Suburban pulling a 08 Jayco Jayflight G2 29BHS
Yes Ive done ALOT of research on my vehicle purchase and my trailer purchase. Now im doing the combination (Tow vehicle/trailer) research. I actually used my 2000 E150 conversion van for my tow vehicle last year, it did ok but needed a bit more HP. Im in the Midwest so not alot of mountains out here, which helped. I love the trailer, it tracked behind the van just fine!

08 Suburban pulling a 08 Jayco Jayflight G2 29BHS
I just purchased a 2008 Suburban LT series,4X4,5.3L/3.73 gear.
I will be pulling a 2008 Jayco Jayflight G2 29BHS.
The weights on the trailer are:
Unloaded Vehicle Weight: 5,400(lbs.)
Dry Hitch Weight: 800(lbs.)
Gross Vehicle Weight: 7,500(lbs.)
Cargo Carrying Capacity: 2,100(lbs.)
I have and will be using the Blue Ox SwayPro system Info on Blue Ox system
My Suburban on the rear bumper by the hitch it says:
Weight Carrying Maximum: 5,000(lbs)
Weight Distributing Maximum: 10,000(lbs)
Correct me if im wrong, but I should be fine pulling this trailer, correct??? I will be using a distribution system (Blue Ox Sway Pro system) so I would be using the Weight Distributing Maximum number??? Ive been reading about the newer Tahoes having problems with hitch issues and too short of wheel base, but the Suburban is longer... Please help clear this up... Thanks in advance!
