I found the breaker panel, nothing tripped or any fuses blow but can’t really tell if that strange fuse for the slide is blown. Will check closer.
So if the AC unit was working and it it was pulling too many amps it should simply trip the breaker in the shop? I seem to recall when I had a camper several years ago it did the same thing when plugged into a normal 110 20 amp outlet. Will probably just install a 30 amp out there and see what happens Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 8, 2021, at 8:26 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > I think the 30 amp requirement is just to handle the various lights and > appliances that campers might be using. > > There should be a panel somewhere with a couple of breakers.
