Power

my trailer has a 50 amp 240 volt system. I park at many places using different power setups. I can go from a 15 amp 120 volt to 30 amp 120 volt to 50 amp 240 volt power usin adapters. One place I stay at on had a 30 amp 240 volt plug (runs everything including my electric water heater). Another place I stay on has a 40 amp 240 volt plug (no problems). I have a 25 amp (3000 watt) 120 volt inverter. When you go to the lower amps you have to learn what you can power at one time (I run the microwave on the inverter). I found that when I am on 240 volts my trailer does not ever need more that 30 amp per leg. The 50 amp 240 volt system is way more than I need but is nice to have.
