There is a plug in tester at camping world that seems to offer all the informatiom you need. Voltage Frequency Amps and polarity. It didn't say how many amps though. One thing though. Ant testing you do should be at the power pedestal BEFORE you hook your camper to it. That means you need to use an adapter to convert from a 30A receptacle to a 15A receptacle. The only problem with that .... John ... pay attention..... is that if the RV site's wiring or power is lacking, it will not show a voltage droop with any load. In other words, the voltage may read 120vac under no load, but after he plugs in and fires up the AC it might droop. He can find out by measuring the voltage before he hooks up and then again with the AC running at any 120vac outlet in his camper, assuming it is not powered by a converter. Usually the microwave and the AC are not run through the converter, so either of the power sources inside the camper could be checked. The voltage at the remote power setup I had in Florida used to droop to 105vac on some days. Bad for the AC compressor. That's why I bought the buck/boost transformer. That's a good point - didn't think of that. It's all about the load baby. If you turn the AC on, you should be able to tell if the voltage drops at another 120 Vac receptacle right? I'm sure somebody ha a device out there that you can load test a voltage drop. like you plug the thing in, hit a button and watch to see if the source electrical devices will hold current at the acceptable breaker amperage. The same thing I do with my Snap-on AVM tester. obsolete with the carbon piles etc, but it will truly tell you what batteries and charging systems are made out of. I've got one of these on my wish list now. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...-monitor/24900 -- John H Great...then all you'll need is a competent person to operate it for you. That leaves out him calling you. You're quite a 'wit' there, Kalif Bill. Think I liked you better when you were drinking. Just because you and your son are serious alcohol consumers, does not mean I am. Maybe if you did not buy so much beer, you could afford to drive the Rav4 more. That's a touchy subject up there in the Maritimes. They don't like being told that they are Alkies. They prefer to think of themselves as social drinkers. My apologies to the exceptions. I saw a post to the 'Travel trailer air conditioner' thread and looked, only to see it was now about the alkies in Nova Scotia. I wondered why. Then I saw that Donnie had not heeded my advice to STFU so he wouldn't appear to be so stupid. But... Your advice???? Doctor, heal theyself! |
