My last unit was a Winnebago 42qd. My question today is, it had a power management system that would allow me to plug into a 120V 15 receptacle and power the basic necessities and charge batteries. Does a Newell have that option or does it have to be 120/240V 50 A?
Thanks

120v 15a will charge the batteries and run a few things.

I do not know about the late era computer controlled coaches, but on the early coaches, there is no automatic power management system. As Tom said, you can use adapters to utilize 15 amp, 30 amp, or 50 amp service. You will have to manage the loads to keep from tripping the breaker.

Hair dryers and curling irons are the worst for tripping breakers on 15 or 30amp service. I'll just stop now.
