Loaded up and went out to the local state park for the weekend. Just the 3 of us, time to re-connect.
When we got set up and I got the outside done I went in and noticed the DW had both AC's going. I scratched my head. This is a Texas State Park with only 30A hookups. My trailer is wired for 50A service but I have an adapter to 30A plus a 30A extension for just this type of situation. I had never tried the second AC on 30A. This is our second time out in the new trailer so still learning. The dealer installed one of the new Penguin II AC's in the bedroom before we picked it up, part of the deal, to supplement the main AC for the Texas heat.
It was abt 95 when we got here and peaked at 103. Both AC's chugged along all afternoon and the trailer stayed at 77-78.
Not complaining mind you just real surprised. I was careful to not run any other high current items, IE microwave, water heater on AC etc, but the TV has been on and a couple of fans.
Evidently the second AC is a high efficiency type and both can run off a 30A circuit. Gotta love it when you get a surprise like this. That means my 4500w generator MAY run both.....
Any thoughts???
