if you dont find one anywhere, try the big automotive store across from the Pemex in Vizcaino...El Valle...they seem to have everything there....safe travel amigos.

I MIGHT have a spare one I can loan you. You are talking about a "pig tail"? I will be in Loreto until Tuesday morning. If you still need one, let me know and I will go look. It seems to me I have 2 of them but have to look in my "junk" compartment of the RV. Everyone has one of those compartments, correct?

Yes. It's a 30 amp to 110. I'm not sure about a pigtail.

I have one, used, I took out of my '92 Big Foot. It works fine but buzzes a little when it's plugged in to 120. $50

My recommendation is not to buy "USED" adapters because of the problem that captkw stated. Most hardware or electrical stores in Loreto do not carry these adapters, however, Ferre-Mar on Jurez in Loreto may have one in stock, but can order them for you from La PAz...Also, you can have WAHOO RV in S.J.D.C. ship them to you by bus and usually you will have the parts the following day. (After you have paid for them)..
