Hi, folks! New to Heartland, and new to this forum. We just got a Caliber 265RLS, and had our shake-down voyage last weekend. Trailer has 30-amp service. Had air conditioner (AC) and refrigerator on electric; when I also turned the water heater on (with electric), the circuit breaker blew.
Called the dealer, talked with Service. Was advised that we need to run the AC on electric, the refrigerator & water heater on gas, as the AC alone takes 13 amps and the various other electrical systems (like the CD/DVD player) draw some amps even when not "on," so the amps add up rather quickly.
My question: is there a listing somewhere of what amperages all the things in the interior use n their "on" and "off" states, so I can maybe calculate what things I can use with what, without exceeding the 30 amps? I may have missed it in all the paperwork, but I didn't see a summary anywhere.
Thanks!
