Thurn the air back on and take my time.

Florida summers are brutal with no air. The best thing it keeps the humidity out of the rig.

30 Amp is 120 VAC. The problem is not your current, it is your converter failing to shift to "Float" mode (about 13.0 VDC) and overcharging your batteries. Check your converter voltage when your batteries are fully charged.


EDIT: The 2 posts above mine nailed it.
