Dumb question re. hair dryer

Using 1800w blow dryer with a/c on, I'm thinking no? TT has 30a service.
Thanks!
  • 1800 watts about 14 amps
    RV AC about 12 to 14 amps
    so, these 2 appliances will be about 26 to 28 amps
    Your refer pulls 3 amps
    Your Power Converter pulls about 1 to 2 amps
    So, you will be operating just over 30 amps and will probably trip the pedestal breaker. just turn the AC to Fan when operating the hair Dryer. Doug

    Will probably trip the breaker. We always run a 120VAC drop cord in from the 20AMP service at the camp ground pedestal for these high wattage things... It has its own separate circuit breaker and won't trip the the 30AMP shore power cable breaker.
