30amp v 50amp

I have to agree with shakeyjay on this because in my MH I have many times been limited to 30 amps yet I have always been able to run one A/C, water heater ,frig. and the microwave without difficulty.

Seriously? My TT is only 30 amps and I run the air conditioner and everything else in it, including the hot water heater. Never been a problem. Now on 20 amp it is a little different story. Can run the air but have to minimize some of the other items such hot water heater and microwave.

It just wasn't that many years ago that 30 AMPS was being introduced. We were using the 15 or 20 amp plugs. Just need to back off some of the can't live with outs and life will continue on just fine...

I've never had a problem running whatever I want in addition to the ac on my 30 amps.

30 amps can operate 2 ACs.

You will need to bring along a RV30A-50A long adapter cord.

Just remember that when you use the 30A-50A RV adapter all of your 120VAC circuits will be activated. You will have to be sure the second air conditioner and some of your other high wattage items to be turned off..

Otherwise you will be tripping the 30AMP Pedestal breaker...

This is a simplified diagram of of typical 50AMP RV service panel using a 30A-50A adapter. Notice the two HOT wires are jumpered together in the RV 30A-50A adapter.

ok, I thought it would be ok


tks

Shouldn't be a problem, gotten away with running the a/c on 20amp service.

Yes as long as you do not run too many other things at the same time. You will learn over time. Do not try to run the water heater, a toaster, the microwave, a coffee pot, etc. at the same time. If you trip the park breaker, turn something off and learn from that.
