As the title implies, my 30 amp service is not enough to run both of my A/C units. We recently stayed at a campground in Nevada and had to run the generator for about 6 hours during the hottest part of the day. I have an adapter to plug my 30 amp service into a 50 amp outlet but that, of course, doesn't stop my intellitec unit from shedding one of the A/C units. I would like sever the rear A/C from the 30 amp service in a manor that will allow me to plug it into an external 20 amp source and yet be able to easily reconnect it so it can run on the generator when traveling. 1996 Fleetwood Southwind 36 LS.
Splitting the circuit to the rear ac with a plug and receptacle is the preferred method and what POWER SOLUTIONS used to sell that included common hardware items. The info covered every situation that one might encounter with these different setups.
I did this years ago to our Tropical and still have all the info, so if anyone would like having it, send me a pm, with your email addy and I'll send along what I have.
