In Toms calculation that is equal to to a 12kw generator. On 50 amps of power that is equal to about 45amps of sustainable power on each of the 2 legs of power feeding the coach. A long term 50 amp draw will trip a 50 amp breaker. When you first plug in the battery charger draws more than after it's been running a bit. I have had my issues with park power over the years and for sure when a breaker is overloaded it gets weaker and if this happens a half dozen times it will need to be replaced. The standard reply from the campground is "it's never been a problem before", however we all have been there resetting breakers a bunch if times until we figure it out. You need to be aware and proactive in managing your power consumption. Newell has tried to take a lot of the thinking out specifically on my coach.
