Appie,

Converting 10 amps at 230 volts will provide 20 amps at 115 volts. According to the specs the 13,500 BTU Dometic Brisk Air units
draw 14 amps; however, the specs don't specify the compressor start up draw.

You have highlighted that I need to install an amp meter that monitors the total amp draw at the shore power connection point so
that I can manage what combination of appliances I use. I suspect that I will have to turn off the roof air when I want to run
anything else.

Actually the main time I would want to use the roof A/C is at night if it's hot.

Double Trouble has a macerator and a 5 metre long output hose as well.

Regards,
Rob M.

You will have ahard time to run all that on a 10 A 230V. 2300 W. Connection If you have a large batteripack you could use some
batteripower and recharge during the night. Still not easy

Other thing to mind is that a macerator is a must. European campers use small toilet cassets that have to be emtied everyday or 2.
Becourse they are carried by hand most dumping are not accesable with the 3" hose I use a maserator and a 5 meter 1" hose, that work
nearly every where

There are no individual water or dumping connection, but a central point where everybody has to go to
