Commanche Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 If a campground only has 20 amp service how would that affect what I could run. Would that eliminate the A/C? Stan Stan and Carol Blacksburg, VA 2014 Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi 2014 Legacy Elite II Standard Hull 63
trumpetguy Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 You might run AC but not much else at the same time. Just be careful with microwave, induction cooking, hair drier, etc. Current 2007 Airstream Classic Limited 31 2015 Oliver Legacy Elite II (Sold) 2016 Ram 2500 HD 6.7i Cummins turbo diesel
Moderators SeaDawg Posted June 30, 2016 Moderators Posted June 30, 2016 Turn the ac off if you want to use the microwave. The ac draws a lot on startup. Less after, when running, but no reason to push it. Lights don't draw much. Any of us who have had two teenage girls running two hair dryers and two curling irons at the same time on a household 15 amp circuit know how well that works..... Results would likely be the same on a 20 amp circuit with the high-powered hair dryers of today... We rarely plug in, but a friend of ours who does carries a meter and checks each outlet. Not a bad idea. Even a cheap plug in device to make sure the outlet isn't wired backwards is helpful. It's surprising, even in the US, how many outlets are not wired correctly.
