have it plugged in at home? If so, did you convert where you plug in your fifth wheel to a 50 amp????
I am curious - a regular wall socket in a house - how many amps can be drawn from that?
This is all stemming from DH thinking we need to get an electrician over here to get us a 50amp plug in. Keep in mind we are NOT going to be staying in the coach while at home - maybe a day here or day there just for fun, though.
Your regular wall plug in is good for 15-20 amps. After that, depending on the distance, you will have some loss if you have to use an extension cord (for me, when my camper is parked out front - I have to use a 50' extension cord AND my camper's cord AND 3 adapters to go from 50amp to 15/20amp).
In my setup, I won't run the air conditioner but will run a single small appliance at a time.
I also have to disconnect each night out of fear of some lowlife realizing the amount of money laying on the ground in cords.
