We have a 1989 42CL - with a 50A/120V shore power. I am looking at adding ELCI, isolation transformer - and would love to reduce the weight of our shore power cables.
Converting to SmartPlug would be a plus.
Anyone done this?
From looking at our Amp meter - normally of course we pull almost nothing - though with Hot water (1700 watts) and a couple space heaters, battery charger, I have seen it just at 30A (No AC - we're in PNW)
Looking at Victron isolations transformers - they don't even make a >3000W 120V model that I can see.
Seems like the important thing is to swap out the main breaker to be 30A. In another thread someone mentioned their generator putting out more than 30A - but I don't see why that would be an issue unless something is drawing that??
