bigcritter - I would love to know what your figures are when you come up with them on the amps. We have travelled in the heat and the cold and if the AC is on, I have to turn it off to use the microwave (if it will be on for a long time) I can run the coffee pot as we only have the kureg one cup at a time. If I was going to make a full pot, it might blow the breaker. This is all with normal TV, computers, fridge and some lights on electric. then you throw the electric water heater in the mix and not enough power. (We didn't have use of our electric heater until this trip as it never worked correctly and just had it repaired) Definitely had to turn off the electric heater to do any of the above. We blew the breaker so many times, that it broke and had to have a mobile service guy come out on a Sunday with one. He started rattling off the wattage on each appliance and it definitely adds up quick. He told us that these coaches should all be 50 amp as you cant operate them at 30 amp without being careful.
