The Refig is set to auto and it could kick into electric mode as soon as shore power is on. Also the water heater is on so it can draw to.
There could also be some drain on the batteries from opening slides and leveling while on battery. ( because surge protector hasn't timed out yet.). So the recharging could add to the load, though I suspect it is the 3 A on L1.
Fridge....3.5A
Water heater.....11.5A (but why you would have the electric on before setting up????)
Converter.....could be at full amp rating (45A, 55A etc) if batteries are drawn way down
We always plugged in electric prior to doing any setting up....just n case problem with incoming power
Fridge and minimal converter would be only AC loads when plugging in.
A CONVERTER will NOT draw in excess of 12 amps AC current in full charge mode(A 75 amp Converter may draw up to 17 amps). Same with a LARGE Inverter/Charger. The AMP rating of a Converter is the DC total amp capability. Doug
