Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Hello folks and thank you so much in advance for any advice you can offer!
We've been full-timing for a little over a month now, in a Winnebago Sightseer. This is our very first RV experience and, so far, we'd only been staying at 50 Amp sites. Now we've checked into a new RV park and I thought I'd save us some money by choosing a 30 Amp site. We pulled in a couple days ago and noticed right away that the 'Powerline Energy Management System' showed that we had 30 Amp service, and displayed the number of Amps we were using at any given time. Today however, I noticed that the display now indicates 50 Amp. What's up with that? We consulted with the RV park owner who confirmed (of course) that we were on a 30 Amp hookup - which we knew to be true because we were using the 30 Amp plug, and the breaker switch is listed as 30 Amps.
So how come our power management system thinks we're at 50 Amps? And are we endangering the power system?
Thank you so much for any advice! I looked through the forums but didn't see another topic that addressed this.
