Use of only 30 amp service

We have a newly purchased 2015 Tiffin Allegro Open Road, 37',V-10.

Was wondering if we can operate on only 30 amp service if we are
very careful with our electric useage. Only one A/c at a time,
and don't run the toaster and coffee pot at the same time. Things
like that. We have so many power things--front night shade, awning,
two inside TV's, combo washer and dryer, etc. Appreciate any and
all comments

Yes. A/C, Fridge, and HW heater running together will probably use more an 30 amps, but that's why the HW heater can run either gas or electric.

As you said, careful monitoring of your electrical use and you will have no problem. One thing that you do not want to forget about is your inverter/charger. If not set fairly low, the charger portion can use a lot of incoming power. Things like your power awning and front shades are probably 12 volt items. The microwave and your AC should able to both be run at the same time. Be sure to turn your hot water heater and refrigerator to LP. In a short time you will figure out what you can and cannot run together.
