If you don't have time for a trip to the camping store for the necessary dog bone adapters run an extension cord through a window and plug the fridge directly into the extension cord. On my Challenger the fridge plug is under the bottom cabinet drawer closest to the fridge. This location is also where the ice maker shutoff valve is located.

As another individual stated, if this is going to be a recurring event consider having a 50 amp receptacle installed on your house. It is nice to plug in and not only cool the fridge but to run the AC units to cool the coach while you are loading.

Have you de-winterized the coach and sanitized the fresh water system? On a new Challenger you also need to de-winterize the ice maker.

We are going to put the house on the market in a few months and downsize, so I don't want to spend $$ on an electrician here. But will likely do so at the new house!

De-winterize??? Huh? Ok, first I've heard this. I'm going to have to do some research ASAP today!
