Amp management in an RV is critical. Many things run on 120 that you may forget about. If your running the A/C you can usually run only one other high draw appliance. Think hairdryers, the electric water heater always gets me, toaster, fridge is a very low amp but does use some! If you use a lot of 120 things in your coach it can add up fast. I bought a voltage reader that plugs into the recepticale and you plug a toaster or coffee maker in and it tells you what the amp draw is. May be good to make a list what they all need for power...Bob Trice
