Used this little gem when we arrived at the lake this weekend only to discover that all the 50A sites were gone. only 30's were available. Perfect! I thought, we have a new toy to play with and it can prove itself this weekend.
We were able to tweak what was running and creep right up to the 30A mark - all while running both AC's all weekend....all three days. we kept the water heater on propane, and shut off the back AC to run the microwave one time. Other than that, the fridge was fine all weekend as were all the electronics we were all charging PLUS we set up a brand new PathwayX2 on new service. works great.
I have my second unit in my hand this evening and will have it installed before the week is out. I am totally sold on these little ammeters. Information is golden.
