Yeah, great example. That’s exactly the kind of event I was thinking that “could” happen that would leave an unsuspecting owner disappointed. For us it wouldn’t be an issue we couldn’t schedule...

I wasn’t thinking so much about whether electrical controls will work — that part is simple enough regardless of how it’s done. I’m more curious about whether owners will remain happy campers when...

Just noticed that Thor is offering two 11,000 BTU/hr A/Cs in place of a single 15,000 on some Quantum floorplans, while maintaining the 30 Amp service and 4,000-Watt Onan.

This design trend is...

I doubt normal volt/amp meters can capture the initial and almost instantaneous current that A/C compressors draw when they first get power. Manufacturers like Coleman list the Lock Rotor Amps (LRA)...

Heat most likely. It needs time to cool off — either the device itself and or the compressor must be getting warm during start-up.

Once A/C is running, current should be the same, so I’m not...

I watched video a second time, and noticed he has two 15,000 BTU/hr Penguins, which for newer A/Cs are rated at 1762 Watts at 115V. In video he mentions and shows they pull lower current after...

I should have been more direct with post #2. Sorry. However, your title was about running 2 A/Cs on 30 Amps, not about soft starters. ;) Again, I apologize.

Soft start allows starting two...

Wiring from breaker box to bedroom ceiling for a second A/C is the very minimum that should be included.

The biggest advantage I see to this middle ground of running 2 efficient and perhaps a...

The real issue is thinking that because a 15,000 BTU/hr A/C is adequate for a small 24-ft Class C, that it should also suffice for rigs larger than say an Axis/Vegas. :nonono:

Additionally, there...

It’s not the same. Not even close.

Two 11,000 BTU/hr A/Cs at 22,000 total are almost 50% more cooling than a single 15,000. While a single 15000 may be OK for smaller rigs in hot and humid...

Yeah, agree 100%. We shouldn’t compare performance or results unless conditions are the same. That’s a major flaw with Internet wisdom.

The nice thing about the motorhomes that have 2 X 11,000...

Jamie, as you may recall, a few mid-size motorhomes have started coming from manufacturer with two 11,000 BTU/hr Power Saver A/Cs which are power by 30-Amp electrical service or a 4,000-Watt Onan...
