RV Techy - Appliance Power Consumption

Many of my RV Friends have asked us over the years about how much power appliances take in an RV. This is good to know if you are running on limited power like a generator, solar or 20/30 amps.

Remember watts may vary from appliance to appliance and also when appliances start up they may draw considerable power for the first few seconds.

Here is some useful watt information as well

Home power plug is 15-20 amps or 1800-2400 watts

30 amp RV Power is 3600 watts

50 amp RV is 240v so it's 12,000 watts
