Oh yeah. All I ever run is the converter and the A/C. Or the converter and a space heater, which draws less than the A/C. That's why I said you can't camp like that, not able to run the toaster without turning off the A/C. But even with the smaller cord, I never tripped the breaker, except for running over it with the mower.

As for heavier gauge wire it's just not in the budget.

Someday off in the future I hope to make a real parking pad for the trailer. When I do it will have a pedestal like in a campground and water, too.

Someday.
