How Much Power 376THS
For the first time we have our 376THS in really hot weather. When we have all 3 A/Cs running we are consuming roughly 40 amps or 4200 watts according to my Power Watchdog. How much more power can I use (safely) if I am hooked up to a 50 amp shore power? The simple answer (10a) or 1200 watts more? Are there 2 - 50 amp legs to shore power (2 x 50 amp x 120 = 12,000 watts available?). I know I need to be judicious on which circuit to use as to not overload the breaker.
Thanks everyone!Matt

Yes there are 2 50A hot lines, 50A each. You still need to be mindful ofyour split, you can have up to 100A total, but each leg needs to be less than 50A which your watch dog should be able to indicate for you.

Also, if you are pulling near capacity (50A) on either leg, check you plug at the pedestal. If the outlet (in the pedestal) is worn (not uncommon in RV parks), you may be getting a higher resistance and with the high current the plug & receptacle may run very hot. If that is the case, try to lower your current and notify the park management. I have seen some pretty bad receptacles and heard of damaged plugs/cords from this.
Lastly, this is all for 50A shore power, with a total of 100A maximum. If you use an adapter to run off of 30 service, even though you have 50A cord and distribution inside the trailer, you are limited to a total on both legs in the trailers of 30A.
Hope this helps
