Have no idea what I'm doing-help!
We bought a camper 2 months ago to live in (family of 6 plus a german shepherd, yes we are insane) while we build our house. Silly us, we know nothing about campers (but are learning). It's a bumper pull 34 ft.
One thing we didn't realize is the fact that the a/c only gets it down to 85 in here during the day. And honestly, it doesn't blow well and the air isn't too cool. I'm most worried about my poor dog-he's dying in here. Next week temps go up to 105-110. We are in arkansas.
We live in my brother's back yard and had an electrician hook up a 30amp thingie which we are plugged to.
The heat got so intense we bought a 5,000btu window unit and installed it in our bedroom. It's plugged into a wall outlet in the camper. It says it draws 6amps and our roof unit draws 15 and we have a total max draw of 30. We actually thought about getting another 5,000 btu for the front and not use the roof unit at all since this window unit really works well.
BACK to the point now, the breaker keeps tripping. But only at the hottest part of the day. At night we can run both, have 2 tvs and the playstation on, and even run the microwave without it tripping. But during the day even with everything off and the fridge on propane, the breaker trips repeatedly. My brother has also complained of dimming lights in his house.
So...what do I do and what could be wrong?
