Hey, Scott. I only have a 30 amp connection at home. When the RV is here, the air conditioning runs pretty much all day. I also run the fridge on electric, and have never had a problem. I won't turn on the water heater or microwave, or any such high-amp loads. But the AC does fine. I've also used it at campgrounds when traveling, and have no problems as long as I don't run too much other stuff.
I use a 30amp connection at home as well, but since I utilized #8 wire and having it on hand at the time, I changed to a 40amp breaker and a 50amp outlet for convenience and durability.
Both overhead heat pumps run just fine.
Like you, we're not living out there, so not making hot water, coffee, or running the microwave all at the same time. Even if, the EMS would temporarily shed any excessive loads.
