O The problem I am having now is that the if I am running my A/C and my Microwave on shore power sometimes either or will trip the breaker.
One possible work around is to get an inverter/charger that allows load support.
My RV is 30 amps. One should try to keep the load below 24 amps, except briefly (say 5 seconds), even on shore power.
With a load support inverter/charger the inverter will, for as long as there is battery power, draw "extra" power from the battery bank. So I can draw more than 30 amps for some time.
So I can run the roof air and the microwave, without tripping the breaker, if the batteries are charged.
When the battery bank starts to get low--then the breaker may trip. But it takes a fair bit of time for that to happen.
