Hi. It says in the manual for pedal power 2 plus:
Do NOT plug in your
amp here
In the ac aux that is.

But it also says 200 watts max.

So my question is; can i run an Excelsior 13 watt guitar amp it says 75 watts on back of the transformer, 230.

Thanks

I bought a manual air hose reel from harbor freight for less than $20. A friend welded it on top of by back bumper of the trailer. I drilled a hole through the handle and the supporting arm of the reel so I can keep a pin to keep the reel from spinning when the cord is stored. I also have a velco strap I wrap around the reeled up cord to secure it. I has rode there without problem for at least 4000 miles. The hardest part is starting the winding. I put the female end at the center of the reel under one of the supports. Once you get a couple of windings, it stays in place.

50 Amp is standard on the 2019 Telluride. I could drop down to 30 amp for most uses but would need to purchase an adapter and 30 amp cable. In my previous trailer, when in full use I would occasionally blow a circuit.

He may have 2 ac units 50 amp is required

What service does your rv need? Do you need to carry such a beast? If you have a 30 amp service your not gaining anything from dragging that around.

Those things are heavy and bulky! I sometimes just throw mine into the bed of my truck, especially if it's wet and muddy from the rain, and deal with it when I get home.

Does anyone have a good idea on how/where to store 36' of 50 amp power cord? The cord weighs about a ton and doesn't roll up easily if it is cold out. I do admit I am frugal (scratch that, cheap) so a $400 power rollup is out of the question. Pretty sure the manual rollup devices ($140) would not fit in my basement storage either - the opening is 18" and only 9" deep before a step-up occurs. I have been thinking of making some kind of vertical extensions to go on top of the back bumper ends and winding it back and forth around them. This would take 4 or 5 windings to stow the 36' cord. While travelling, I would chain it to the bumper so it wouldn't get up and walk away - or fall off.
I'd appreciate any ideas you might have
