I am new to these message boards and Im thankful I found you 'all. I'm not sure if I can stay here for the summer if I can't prevent heat exhaustion. Im in a class c conversion van. late 80's model. I'd like to know if I can run the air conditioner.
I'd like to know if using my a/c on 20 amp will do harm. I disconnected the electric hot water heater which takes 7 amps. I have the a/c dial all the way up to prevent cycling. I can reduce the dorm fridge if necessary. I have only my laptop and cable internet plugged in. The A/C on the roof is fairly new but it's wired inside and plugged into one of the wall socket. It has tripped the fuse box when I had the fridge and hot water heater going And the dial set low that caused cycling where it went dead as the compressor was coming on. Should I try to use it or move where I can get 30 amps?
Also, I was told by kind people here that I can power the 8000 portable free standing a/'c on 15 amps. It's an alternative to blowing circuits. The wiring here is over 50 years old. Kind regards,
