Sweet. The inverter is 70a charger and with 13kwh you're looking at around 8 hours using 1700w of shore. 30A at 80% is only 2880w so you'd get just over 1000w from shore before it starts taking away from charging and taking longer. So if your batteries are dead and you want to just go to a CG overnight to recharge, cook and all that it could take 12hrs plus. The 50a gives you an additional 2000w to use while charging.Thanks! Yes, I have a gasoline "diesel heater" in the plan. I didn't list it here as it's not a material electrical load. Interesting thought on the shorepower, I actually don't think I'll get many chances to use even 30a, as we'll probably be totally off-grid more often than at a traditional RV campsite. Thanks for the review!
Although your heat/cool and all that isn't AC so it might not be too beneficial but its nice to have a 50a cable and can still use 30a or 15a by just using adapters.
We do a lot of day/weekend trips so will spend all day burning tons of power, then go to a CG for the night to relax and recharge then head to another spot the next day at 100% for a full days use.
