This afternoon, the weather finally got to me. We were doing work in the rig, I was about going to set up my office after, and it was sweltering in here. I hate running the AC when I’m plugged into 15A, but it was either that or melt.<\/p>\n
I shut down the water pump and water heater and turned the fridge to propane. The AC ran fine until I adjusted the thermostat one time too many and then it blew a breaker in the house. My mother showed me where to reset the breaker, I reset the thermostat, and then I turned the AC back on.<\/p>\n
It has been running fine all afternoon. It’s now about 27C in here (81F), which is very comfortable now that the humidity is gone. I am leaving the AC on and will see if it cycles properly when it starts to get hotter in here. If it blows the breaker, I will turn it off until bedtime and recool the rig to sleep comfortably.<\/p>\n
The problem could be that I am running off about 150′ of small gauge extension cord. I have checked the voltage on occasion and I have always been well within the acceptable limits with the cords remaining cool, so I think that as long as I don’t play with the thermostat again, causing too many shut downs and activations in too short a span of time, it will be fine.<\/p>\n
The difference between in here and outside is incredible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
