At 85 degrees and just over 7,000', the Champion had no problem running 13,500 BTU AC and MW and coach battery charger and fridge, etc
So the questions are:
1) Is the Champion delivering full rated amps from a single plug?
2) Should we suspect the AC unit as causing the problem?
3) Can anyone help me get out of hot water with DW, since I told my FIL to buy the Champion?
Thanks.
i'm betting on the A/C unit being too much load ( what yr is his RV )
also did you help hime out to make sure the water heater and fridge are on propane, the water heater on electric is a heavy power user
if the RV is fairly new, and he mormally goes to places with hookups
chances are evrything is in the automatic mode and using 120 AC when available
those things should be put manualy on propane
