Am working on figuring out how many amps an RV typically draws during high usage - anyone have information on this?
It all stems from needing to calculate the line loss on a 330-350 foot long feed from the panel to the 50amp power pedestal.
With both AC's, fireplace, and almost everything but the microwave running I got 22.46 on L1 & 16.34 on L2 for a total just under 40amps.
Unless I'm missing something, only way I'd see a true 50amp draw is if every system started at the same time?
Is this typical of what others have seen?
Reason for the questions are the cost of the wire for the location I'm hoping to use next year could be as much as $3 per foot x 3 legs x 330 LF or a potential swing of $3000 to get power to the pedestal.
And I may go for something other than what I currently have right now so want to make sure I don't have issues in the future?
Appreciate any information or feedback I can get on this.
