Hi all, interested to know if this is legal or not, and if there is a state by state code. Our fur kid won't travel in the tug (tried everything) and having the blinds up on the van would lower the tempt (a bit) to make it a bit more comfortable for her in the van. Thanks in advance

Simple to do after changing the female plug from a 10 amp to a 15 amp plug. Providing I only used low wattage double insulated items (two pin plugs not three pin) off grid life ver...
