Am new to PUP world. We have a hardside Palomino that we have yet to take out for real camping (driveway doesn't count). The plug on the outside of the PUP is a male receptacle but if I plug that end in I'm left with the female and it obviously doesn't go into a plug outside the house as this needs to be male, too. So...dumb question - is there some sort of adaptor that is needed, a special extension cord? Help!
Thank you.
Just so I'm clear about this...do you have a cord that is female (has small holes) on both ends?

If I understand correctly, you would need something like THIS (http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm/Outdoor-and-RV-Accessories/15-Amp-Male-to-30-Amp-Female-Round-Adapter/skunum=24493). You would plug the cord from your PUP into this and the adapter into your wall socket. You can buy these at any Wal-Mart, camping supply store or dealer.

I am confused. Do you have a power cord that is permanently attached to the trailer or one that you can remove from the trailer? What is the end of the power cord? Usually you have a 30 am male plug on the end of the camper power cord.:)
I could be wrong but it kinda sounds like you
To echo what has been said, I think you are looking at a courtesy outlet on your Palomino.
I don't know what year you have. My '89 TXL came with a cord under the dinette seat that stashed behind the converter. There is a small 'port' that you feed the end out to plug into your campground service.
Check back with us as to your progress.
One modification I made when I installed AC was to add a second AC line, as the 15Amp breaker on the converter won't drive an AC along with your television, microwave, etc.
Good Luck,
Todd
