The rules according to Reddy Kilowatt
There are "Big Ticket Items" these include
Air Conditioners
Water heater
Microwave
Electric space heaters including electric fireplaces
And MAY include under some conditions: The converter
These items all pull over 10 amps (In the case of the converter if it is big enough and the batteries are hungry enough)
Then there is the Fridge, I call a medium load. Also coffee pots. toasters and the like (NOTE: some of these kitchen things can be big loads)
And "Small items" Televisions, Radios, The converter if the batteries are full up. They more or less do not count.
On the kitchen stuff. Read the label over 1000 watts is a big load,
Now the rules
20 amps: 1 big load
30 2 big loads
50 All you can eat.
NOTE: This assumes GOOD 30 amp service, The park I am in now it depends on the site how good it is.
