Adding new 120v, 15amp service.

[AlexPeterson]

Our unit has only a 30amp service, which is adequate for most of our needs given the trailer size. However, we prefer for convenience to heat with a 1500w, thermostatically controlled PTC heater. I got tired of taking care to shut if off to make coffee, use the microwave, etc.

So I ordered this through Amazon, and installed it as shown in the pictures. Outside, I plug it into the 120v, 20amp outlet at the pedestal via a 12 gauge extension cord. I'll make something to cover the splinters when I'm back home. (For the curious, the 5 amp limit I placed on the OEM outlet is because they are on the same circuit as the converter, which is disconnected via a relay when I activate the inverter.)

That's actually pretty slick.. I always have to check the running amps prior to running the microwave etc etc.. gonna have to steal this one.

Thanks!
