I have a 50 amp coach and when visiting some friends I have to plug in to their 15/20 amp circuit. This allows us to run one AC unit/or electric heater and our lights and TV. If we need to run the microwave, I turn off the AC for a few minutes. I also put the water heater on propane as well as the refrigerator and make sure that my inverter/charger is set to low charge.
Since you are just using an adapter the draw of a heater will not cause your 30 amp power cord to overheat, as you found out with three weeks at your other location.
Thanks, this is what i figured, owning an RV necessitates that one understands basic and intermediate electrical theory and math, and the relative at hand is an Electrician, and I am sure that his professional knowledge is making him paranoid to the worst case scenario.
NEVER let this person do any wiring for you. He clearly doesn't understand how current works.
who? rgatijnet1? or the family member in question? Im guessing the latter?
The latter. Who is supposed to be an electrician.
Ahhh, yes, don't get me wrong, he is a decent electrician, but self taught, and doesn't really know the science/physics behind it all, and only has knowledge from what he was taught from job experience and famlily trade. So he's a self taught pro. Pro being used very loosely based on his work experience.
