travel trailer electric power

not real confident about electric power for my travel trailer, however I am confused as to why my breaker goes off when I have a coffee maker and toaster plugged in and in use. How can I improve this. I presently hook up to 30 amps.
  • Just to pile on, the converter may draw quit a bit while charging the battery.
  • because they are on the same breaker, two high load items at the same time
    not much you can do except find another outlet on another breaker

    or plug the coffee maker in at the campground pedestal!
  • Is air conditioner also running?

    Combined amps drawn with air conditioner, coffee maker and toaster, could be more than your 30 amp circuit can handle.

    Coffee maker air conditioner, and toaster are all high amp users.

    Add your microwave to that list, also.
