Question Amp draw on Greyhawk heat pump

Hi all. I checked my owner's manual (31FS) but there's no indication of the amp draw on our heat pump. Searched this forum as well but couldn't narrow down any posts with the info. Does anyone know offhand the approximate amp draw?

Thanks!

It should be in the manual of the appliance. Install an VOLT/AMP meter in your RV for both AC and also DC, it will give a reading how much amps you use.

According to my power monitor it's 14.5 amps while running. With a thirty amp rig you can only run two major items at a time, major items being AC/heat pump, water heater (if on electric), plug-in 1500 watt heater, hair dryer, coffee maker, toaster or any other high current item.

Thanks. The OM covers multiple models. I don't know mine and is raining too hard to get up there to figure it out atm.

Thanks, Don. I assumed it was around 15-16 amps. It's probably more than I want to attempt to plug into my home service until I get a dedicated 30amp line ran.
