Shore power with only 30 and 15 amp in pole?

[phorner]

Gary,

In our Liberty, the manual states to turn off "the Number 2" inverter when using 30 amp power. I think it's mainly to shut off the charger associated with that inverter, as most of the other inverter powered "stuff" appears to be on the leg for the other one.

Usually, if I don't have clean, solid 50 amp service I opt for the generator....

Gary,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it is a used entertainer conversion that we acquired and it did not come with conversion manuals so we are flying blind. Maybe I'll reach out to the inverter guys to see what they can tell me.

Its not necessarily a inverter question. Its how your coach was hard wired. If you can idntify the entertainer converter, call them.

When you use a 50A to 30A or even 15/20A the converter cord takes the single power input (30A, 20A or 15A) and connects it to BOTH 50A feeds into the coach. As you probably know, a 50A circuit in the case of our coaches is actually two 50A circuits whereas 30A and below are only one. You may well have to change the maximum power input selection on your inverter/chargers. I would also recommend turning one of them off if you have a single battery bank, which is likely. Don't turn off the breaker feeding that inverter/charger ONLY turn off the charger. This is necessary so that the 110VAC input to the charger/inverter still flows through the inverter bypass relay to power whatever is attached to the leg of power in your coach.

The one thing that may not work is the cooktop. Our cooktop is 220VAC so it can't be powered with a single power feed.
