I run AC all summer. It's 2023 I started in 2018. I burnt up the converter in 2020. Replaced with a smart converter. Was told it wouldn't work but I read as long as the amps of replacement are higher not lower then original it be fine. An it's been fine. Only issues is if I try plugging 2 RVs on one breaker.
@kelsieclyke if your using extension cored get the shortest thickest possible. But if you can do without the extension, amazon has an adapter the you can plug 30amp shore cord in an plug the adapter into both the house outlets i wanna try it .an the first year or 2 used a simple little 30amp to 15amp adapter but I'd suggest the more expensive ones. They can still melt but in my case lol It's been over 110 degrees for 2 months an I'm running 2 55 amp converters. I got like 5 ac unit's running plus lol I can share pics. I'd anyone don't believe me lol
@@vintagecruiseradventures9268also Solar Is expensive like 17k expensive what do I have to do run the 5th wheel on power without it connected to the house?
What is everyone talking about? I'm going on 3 months straight of living in my camper and 24/7 ac tv lights the entire thing. It's like you all saw they same video at the top of the RU-vid search. Yall know there's different size extension cords right? My cord is as thick as hulks thumb. I literally never shut my ac off I live in Florida. My tv stays on 24/7 as well as my fan.
It draws too many amps, you'll trip a breaker or cause a fire. 15 amperes are good on 14 gauge wire his "15 amp extension chord" would light on fire especially if the breaker doesn't trip. 30 amperes require 10 gauge wire. I'm an electrician, and honestly this video really shouldn't even be on the internet for the safety of people watching that have no idea how electricity works.
When the ac kicks on it has a power surge more than 15 amps. It settles back to 15 amps. But it’s that initial surge that will flip the breaker. Ther are units you can add to your ac that will absorb the initial surge which will then allow 15 amp usage
@@ramiroamador6930 yeahh the amount of power it takes to run the A/C, lights , and appliances just from 30 amps is not enough current to run all of it i have a big food truck thats pretty much has more appliances than an average RV so i had to get a 12,000 watt generator
