Here's the adapter cable I made, which has a NEMA 14-50R (where the EVSE is plugged in) and a TT30p (old standard at RV sites). Also pictured is a pre-made TT30 to NEMA 5-15p adapter (aka a standard 120V plug), which is a common RV adapter. https://photos.app.goo.gl/N9UiDn18t77xkjJ27 By combining my...
