Help Needed!! Do all master circuit breaker switch's throw when all electrical appliances are being used? I have my water heater, refer, TV, A/C, micro-wave, and then small appliances, toaster, coffee maker, iron. And if it is natural, why have it on 30 amp and not 50 amp?
Simply put, most travel trailers are 30 amp (instead of 50) due to cost... And the fact that most TT do not have 2 air conditioners.
Your 30 amp trailer is not designed to run all "high draw" items at the same time. It's up to you to manage that - or experience a breaker trip.
Generally you can run 2 high draw items at a time. You just have to prioritize which two you need.
