15 Amp Service
We are going to visit family this Christmas & will be parking in their yard & they said we can plug into their house system...but it is only 15 amp...what do we need to NOT turn on with this low amp service?

- What part of the Country are you going to?? Just remember that a 15 Amp circuit is the same as the wall outlets in one room of your house. If you are staying south, use normal winterizing, but do not try to use an electric heater to heat the rig. NoACs, hair dryers, very limited microwave, no electric heaters, fridge and Water heater on gas, and remember that converter that provides 12V stuff and battery charging pull pretty heavy also.
- That will keep your batteries charged and that's about it. You can run your furnace, but no electric heaters. Also don't heat water with electric. You will find out real quick if you overload the circuit and the house breaker trips.
- You can live very well in an RV with 15 amp plugin.
- Run water heater and refrigerator on gas and you are good to go power wise. Fill up onboard water and do not hook up water hose. Pink RV antifreeze in tanks. If using just for sleeping no water needed use plastic bag in toilet bowl for number 2. Gallon water jug instead of water tank.
