Thank you, Jim…I enjoy helping others from experiences and knowledge I’ve gleaned from sources such as yourself.
This forum, agreed, is a great encyclopedia for all! And, for the visual-based content, I’m thankful to have youtube for my channel.

Just spent four days powered by dual 30A with an additional 15A receptacle for the Xantrex aux battery charger and the batteries merged by switching the "Emerg Start" switch on. Temperatures reached 88° F every day and using two A/C units, one on each leg, the coach stayed cool enough for the A/C units to cycle off periodically. We were facing East in full sun until late afternoon when a tree offered shade behind us. We used diesel AquaHot when needed.
If the extra 15A receptacle was not available I would plug the aux battery charger into the coach with the 50A "Buddy" receptacle using this 50A to dual 20A Adapter. The aux charger uses a small amount of power compared to the Outback charger. When the battery's are merged and charged the House and Chassis will read about the same voltage, usually within a tenth of a volt.

Today we have a 15A GFI 120VAC outlet for our power. I plugged the Aux Battery Charger into it and switched the "Emerg Start" On to keep house & chassis battery's charged.

We are at another site with Dual 30 amp and a 15 amp for the Xantrex charger. I used 120VAC 8A Leg 2 Gold Heat floor heat last night to keep the temperature at bay. I have two 120VAC 1000W 8A Cadet Heaters (Newell calls them Teddy Heaters), one on each power leg, in the Kitchen (Galley) which I am using for heat this morning. I haven't needed hot water so the Diesel AquaHot is off.
