Can I turn the Converter off?
When we tailgate at football games, we dry camp. We have two Honda 2000's that we run in parallel to power our fifth wheel. I have a 15000 BTU A/C and a 13500 BTU A/C. I've tried unsuccessfully to get both A/C's running at the same time, and frankly, I'm not sure I'll ever get them running together on my generators.
I've always been good about keeping everything turned off when trying to run both A/C's. However, just the other day I saw that my Converter can draw up to 5 Amps. I know the Converter is used to convert 120V to 12V. I'm wondering if I can turn the Converter off at my circuit board (it has it's own circuit) and then try to run both A/C's. Will turning the Converter off just make all of my 12V electronics unavailable? Are there any other repurcussions? My goal is to make sure everything is turned off and blast both A/C's for the first hour or two when we get to our tailgating spot. I'm hoping this will cool it down enough so we can go back to one A/C for the evening and turn the Converter back on so we can run our 12V electronics.
