Yes, That is the way it should work, the breaker should trip and that's the end of it. But I have seen many instances of burned and fried wires and components. One of the previous appends in the thread said they used a 50ft 12 gauge extension cord and it only got just a little warm. That's plain dangerous and the warm extension cord is telling you that. So bottom line is I would not do it or recommend it. If you want to do it, and know the risks then more power to ya.

That wasn't my post, and I don't use 50ft nor a 12 gauge extension cord. Like others above I use the 30A RV cord with an adapter at the plug (and not the little hockey puck adapter either).
