Electrical Plugs

We have a Kiwi Hybrid with the forward and rear tents. Those things get hot in the summer time even with the A/C running. I was thinking about getting a couple small portable air conditioners. Now those things can be plugged into any regular outlet in a house but will the electrical outlets in the trailer also be able to handle the load?

It depends on the amp draw for the A/C units you're looking at. Check the amps on your breakers. If they're 15 amps, you may get away with one A/C. House breakers are mostly 20 amps now, and will handle the load, although you're not going to plug two of them into the same outlet.

My cousin runs a 20amp drop cord to the power pole for extra appliances.

That's what I would recommend most power polls have that 110 outlet

A second ac will not directly help with the bunk ends. Something like Pop UpGizmos will block the sun/heatload.

Question, how often do you clean the return air filter? Also might be worth pulling off the outside cover and clean the coils, they could be full of dirt and debris
