13.5 to 15KBTU worth it?
I've got a 2006 Cedar Creek Silverback 5ver with 2 slides and the Air Conditioning system just won't even come close to managing the heat & humidity of these hot summer days. It's unfortunately NOT w...

Hi Sled208,
If there is only a 30 amp shore power supply, limit the total energy use to 80% (24 amps or about 2900 watts). It may be necessary to monitor the voltage. If it drops below 107, turn off some of the loads.
A kill-a-watt meter is a useful piece of kit to have.
My roof air, when it is HOT and has been running for hours goes up to 1900 watts. That leaves me with another 1000 watts to use for other items.
A possible third alternative, if you are in a dry area such as Arizona is to use a "stand alone" swamp cooler.Sled208 wrote:
Thank you all for responding. I'm sorry if I'm not responding to each suggestion but I value everybody's input. Here's a big issue that I discovered this weekend. The electrical hookup at my spot only has a 30amp plug. Nothing else. I was sure there would be a separate 15 amp outlet but there is not. I think that limits me specifically to replacing the existing unit only?? I don't know if I can run one of those portable units even?
Definitely not a dry climate here in Iowa next to the lake. Something tripped the breaker one of the hotter days and I assume it was just the combination of the inverter and the Air Conditioner. Nothing else was turned on. Maybe I should just put a **** generator next to my camper and fire it up when the second air unit is needed. We're inline for moving to a new spot next year hopefully one with 50amp service and some shade.
