2 fireplaces, but not at same time

Our coach has 2 fireplaces (LR & BR). Ran the BR one all night over the w/e and it cycled on/off w/o a problem as temps dipped down to upper 40's. Woke up around 6am, went into LR and turned that 1 on to warm things up before heading down and shortly thereafter, the BR FP quit working. LR 1 was still working. Checked all the breakers and fuses....all AOK. Grabbed the outlet tester and no power. Turned off then on the FP breaker and outlet worked. LR FP never quit, just the BR FP. Is this normal? IMO, didn't think they were drawing that much juice like the A/C's would. Same breaker? Weak Breaker? Breaker BTW never appeared to be tripped (15amp).

We only have one but it's a 750/1500w. On 1500w that's 12.5A which is right up there with a running AC.

Watts divided by voltage gives amps. 1500/120 = 12.5 Microwave 1000/120 = 8.3

If you have a Power Command, it may have shed your BR FP when the LR FP was turned on, effectively allowing only one at a time.

LBR--I have no clue if we have this or not (Power Command).

We just dropped off the coach at dealer for warranty work they didn't finish last time there and asked them about it. Gal thought a bigger breaker will work (20amp now). Told her just like I wrote above. See what they come up with (if anything).

We spoke with the BC factory rep a couple weeks ago - he said the power management would only allow one at a time to work on a 3560
