Well whilst us in yoorup have been asleep it seems battle commenced in the USA!*
I was at least right about one thing, the USA AC systems are very confusing!* Sorry if I opened a can of worms with my questions.
I think we will just hope that our 110V will somehow be connectible, via the cords and adapters*that came with the boat,*in our allocated slip when we get back there.* Our boat is currently out of the water in St Augustine FL patiently waiting for us to get sold up here and return...**
I asked for a 110V 50A connection if possible, the marina said:-
It'll have a 50amp 208v electric hookup, which you can split down to (2) 30amp cords.**Of course, you'll have to have a splitter.**Should a slip with (2) 30's comes open, I can simply change slips for you.
They list 110V 50A at $80/month and 208V/50A at $160/month or 110V 30A at $72 (per cord).* I'm concerned on two counts, one that we can get 110V on board but two that $80/month is a whole lot better than $160!* We know we can run almost everything*on a single 30A 110V connection, the previous owners did that but had one of the 3 aircon units off to do*it because the third would be just too much.* On that basis a 110V 50A supply would seem ideal especially as at $80 it is only a bit more than a 30A at $72/month.* Two 30As to give 60A total*however add up to $144 a whole lot more!
