Hi,
I "broke out" the cable to the water heater and added a 15 amp auxiliary shore power cord for it. If the pedestal has a 30 amp and a 15 amp outlet I can run my water heater and air conditioner at the same time. I used male and female plugs so I can return to OEM configuration in seconds. I also added a female plug so that I can use the auxiliary cord for an electric heater in the winter time.

I wish I had the luxury. Since the trailer has only 30A service available, and we've had a solid three weeks of +30 weather, the A/C has been running non-stop...which means I can't run the hot water tank on AC Power, as it trips the 30A main.
I have faith my dealer fixed things properly, so that's not a concern, it's just a bit frustrating.
