Converting watts to amps?
I purchased a 1000 watt single burner hot plate to use in our RV. Without knowing the volts, (haven't received it yet), is there any way to determine if our 50 amps will be able to handle it? Hopeful...

The other side of this, of course, is that a 50 amp, 120 volt connection is capable of delivering 6,000 watts.
So, Nancy/Doug/Penny, your RV power supply should be able to support a 1,000 watt cooker -- depending, of course, on what else is going on. If you are running a microwave oven (1,200 watts) at the same time you've got a washing machine and a clothes dryer (each probably 1,500 watts) going, just as the AC kicks in (2,100 watts) along with the 'fridge (700 watts), you are likely going to have a problem.
