Coleman Basement AC question.

Question

We will be staying at a campground tonight that only offers 30 amp service, I am hoping to use our AC , we will be in Mississippi. My motor home does have a EMS system. (not sure how it works exactly) does anyone have an idea if I can use AC or not? AC is Coleman 46515-811 69859 Two Ton Plus Basement Central Air Conditioner with Heat Pump 13500 BTU. I am assuming no microwave and AC. Thank you for any help! :)

It will work. The second compressor might not kick in but it will run. We use ours on 30 when that is all that is available.

Yes you can run a AC on 30 AMPS and much more.
Your EMS may/will shut off the AC if you turn on the microwave.
After micro shuts off the AC will restart.

My 30 AMP EMS will let 2 AC's run at the same time. But will shut one at a time off if many other things are turned on at the same time.

Switch your refer to propane and shut off the ice maker. Run the water heater on propane if you have an electric option. You should be fine and I would not use the Microwave until you are sure it's cool enough inside.
