Will T@B400 2021 A/C work well on a 20A service

Gravens

Has anyone ran their T@B400 A/C on a 20A service?

If it worked, did you have to be careful about what else you were running?

@Gravens, which year of your 400, please?  

The 2020 T@B 400’s had an Air8 A/C unit, instead of the Cool Cat used in the other years theT@B 400 models were manufactured.

My cool cat will work fine on a 20 amp service. If the Alde is on, it must be set to use the 1kW only or propane only, or the load will surpass 20 amps. 

Of course, use of any other high wattage devices, like an Instant Pot, hair dryer, etc would be excessive.

Good discussion about A/C units towards the middle of this discussion.

@Gravens - your CoolCat in your 2021 400 is fine on 20 amps.  If you add too, too much load, you will just trip the circuit.

I’m happy to say that my 2021 400 A/C has worked well for the last two weeks in 85-99 degree temps plugged in to a household circuit. I haven’t used much other electrical draw except for a coffee pot in the morning .

Thanks everyone!

Yep the coolcat works great on 20 amp.  I also had no problem running the Alde heat on 2kw on 20amp, as long as I did not use other appliances that had a large draw on the electric.  If 15 amp circuit then only use the 1kw setting.
