I would recommend getting a low-gauge (iirc 10 or 12 gauge, 25ft max) extension cord. You can't always park this close to places you are staying.
I will repeat again, 10 or 12 gauge, 25ft max. Do NOT use a higher gauge and be careful with longer cords unless it's really high quality. You get what you pay for.
Isn't lower gauge better since it is a thicker cable?
Yup -- typo. Thank you.
