220V, I know it was not a normal recepticle. I looked when I was there, but can not recall.
Bring all the differnt plugs, you will be safe :D That is what I do for the RV

If they're standard Shorepower like they have on the docks in Coronado, they should have a 120 hookup, but the big "strange" looking 220 plug should be the standard Shorepower. I do believe West Marine has them.

I believe Jordy is right, I have a adapter for those, it is a 20amp twist lock plug adapter. :D

It's a 15A plug. The sticker on the outlet says 20A, but it's really a 15A. Oh $hit, I could have that backwards. Either way look at the sticker at the box. If it says 20A, get a 15A adapter and vice versa. Make sure you get the right one because they're not interchangable. I got an adapter at Ace Hardware in Parker. I think it was around $6.00 and I ran a charger for my stereo all night for the next day

I think the outlets at the Bluewater are 1.21 gigawatts, used to power any standard flux-capacitor. But I could be wrong.

Its a total rat **** there ...
I drove all around town to find an adapter.... EXECPT ACE HARDWARE !!! **** !!!! ......
Anyhow, its a 20Amp, I tried my 30Amp that
they use down here in Newport for shore power and everywhere else on planet earth.... But it's
a 20Amp, slightly smaller than the 30AMP...
Still pisses me off... Ace Hardware.....man, I hit all teh RV and marine shops. car shops, etc.....And ****ing ace comes through....shiiiiit.....

Like I say, the sticker on the shore line box says it's a 20A, but after I went and spent 25.00 to make my own 20A adapter, I came to realize it was a 15A. Yup, Ace hardware, IN PARKER of all places. They sell the pigtail adapter for around 6.00. On the same street as Sharkeys, just east of there on the same side of the street. Remember, the 15A and 20A are NOT interchangable. They physically won't fit. Just ask some of our rookie fireman the tried it during their testing. :mad: 'Course I mighta had something to do with switching things around before their test. :D :D Funny shit
