Last Campground I was at I had 30-30 electric service (two 30 amp breakers) one fed the rear A/C and the Progressive Dynamics 9180 with wizard both of which, on my rig can be operated "Independent" of the house 120 volt system.
Well if I'm doing heavy cooking with both A/C running I can easily pull close to 20 amps in the kitchen.. So Id shut off power to the inverter and cook off batteries.. IF I did that long enough the 9180 went into BOOST mode and started sucking enough power that with the 13.5 draw up on the roof.. click went the breaker.
When we lived at home I had a 20 amp feed to the RV. Never could get wife to understand you do not turn on A/C or Water heater for at least 2 hours (or Microwave) after plugging in. Let the batteries eat first.
