    Yes, there's lots of adapters available on Amazon or wherever.

    Adapters are inexpensive and easy to use. Just be aware that you'll have to practice some power management on 30 amp power. Perhaps one AC at a time (if you don't have Soft Starts on them), only one resistive heating appliance at a time (fireplace, hair dryer, space heater, etc.). You can reduce electrical load by running the water heater on LP only (if you have a tank style water heater). It's easy enough when you get the hang of it.

    What issue are you concerned about

    We have power here in Canada
    Thank you for my morning guffaw!

    I also loved the one about power being metric. Oddly enough, power is one of the few things in the US that is metric.

    As a Canadian I find this post very strange. OP will either need to look online or directly contact wherever they plan on staying to see if 50amp is available and if not just use a 50a/30a dog bone.

    Was OP actually concerned we didn't have power up here?

    My thought was that he was concerned the power was the same as European power and he might need adapters.

    A 30 to 50 amp adapter will get the job done if there is only a 30 amp receptacle.

    Forget all that, just get yourself a metric adjustable wrench

    Those are tough to find. Took me forever to find a metric hammer. Everybody looked at me like I had three heads.

    🤣 not only do we have the same power as in the US, most times it a much better (steady) supply!
    Oh, and before you ask…no, we don’t live in igloos! 🤣🤣🤣
    Have a great safe trip…hit PEI, you’ll love it!
