I have a Coleman Mach 1 P.S. 11k btu rooftop air conditioner (on a truck camper) that has had little use and works well, but seems to draw a high amount of amps per Colemans spec sheet. Coleman spe...

Your model specs are based on 115 volts/95 degree ambient
6.7 amps compressor
2.3 amps LO Fan= 9.0 LO fan
2.9 HI Fan = 9.6 HI fan
I am not familiar with a Kill a watt meter system. WHERE and WHAT dies this actually measure? JUST the AC power line circuit? OR, the complete AC amp draw of the RV? If the complete amp draw of the RV, you CANNOT isolate just the AC amps easily. 125 volts????? Where are you getting 125 volts? The Electricity in my area rarely exceeds 121 volts. On GENSET you can get higher voltages. At 125 volts times the 9.6 will yield 1200 watts. 120 volts times the 9.6 will yield 1152 watts. So, your problem may be the higher voltage you have. The RVP SPEC running watts at 115 volts at 95 degrees is 1048 watts. The ONLY sure way of determining the amps is with a digital amp meter AT the AC 120 supply wire. Doug
