in an all electric coach, can you have the lights, fridge, av gear, charger and one air conditioner running?

and have the water pump come on once in a while?

i am not near my coach to try it.

I do believe you have a complete list, although I run the 12V water pump when I'm running off 30A and running one a/c.
I had mine in storage for 4 months on 30 amp a couple of years ago and kept one a/c on 76 degrees and all else on except the water pump. Never a problem.
That one A/C has two compressors which both will come on if more than 2 degrees difference in thermostat setting, so I understand. How many amps does each compressor pull? I've always been afraid to run one A/C on 30 amps. It is good to know that one can. Is there a way you can only run one compressor?
on mine, there is a rocker switch by each thermostat that allows you to select one or both compressors for that particular double unit

Which thermostats do you have Chappell? I have the Coleman Mach and there is a hi/lo switch. On hi both compressors will work, on lo only one will work.
I have Dometic roof airs 13,500 a/c & heat pump on #1 and #3 and #2 is an a/c only unit at 15,000 with a pc card update / changeout (plug and play) to intergrate with other two units
Forest, I don't know but will check. It is raining cats and dogs here this morning and when it stops I will have a look. I wish my 99 was like Steve's and had 4 ACs on top. I'm sure you are correct because there has to be a way to cut off one to the compressors without cutting off one of the breakers. Will let you know. I have always had 50 amp so has never been a problem.
We should know the answer to this in a few days once we get to Toms
forest, as you would figure, i am asking for you.
