    Heat water using propane....same with fridge

    Doing so lessens the electric load
  • Should be ok. Just don't also try microwave, hair dryer, electric skillet, or such at the same time. Worst that can happen is the breaker will trip and you will have to reset it.

  • Depends on what you are connected to for AC power.

    15A outlet..NO
    30A outlet.....YES
    50A outlet.....YES

    Generator......maybe
    Depends on generator rating


    One only needs to 'try' it to find out.....CB trips then NO
