1. The remote unit has only one available duplex outlet, which is weather-protected, with flap doors on each outlet, and the unit simply will not fit into the outlet. Can I use a short, six-foot, heavy (12 gauge), extension cord, with three prongs (i.e., fully grounded) to connect the unit to the duplex?
If you want to know if you can use the "remote" powerline plug on an extension lead, then I do this all the time.
The rest goes into technical details that are beyond my skills. For a start I don't know what a "GFI outlet" is. (Google isn't much help either.)
You may be "overthinking" think.
