30 amp vs. 50 amp question

I have a spot reserved at an Rv park, but all they had available was a 30 amp hookup.

So...

-do I still put my 50 amp EMS In line after the 30/50 converter?

-I know I can’t run both a/c units, but can I still run the heat pump?

So much to learn with this new unit!

Thanks, Larry

    EMS and heat pump OK, you just can't exceed the 30A pedestal CB limit with all of your loads.

    Yes.

    Shore power-->adapter-->ems-->rv

    Limit your loads to 24 amps if that is possible.

    If you are lucky enough to have a hybrid inverter/charger, then turn on the load support feature.
