Do I really need to install a 30 breaker and recep. dedicated for the camper? for that not to happen. or is something wrong with the A/C |
If the breaker for the receptacle was flipped, the AC would not be able to turn itself back on, so that may not be the problem. Something might be wrong with the AC itself or your thermostat and would have a dealer check it out.
And yes, if you want to run the AC on a normal basis, you need at least a 20 amp receptacle, and a 30 amp is better. Unless you're quite handy with electrical work, you'll need an electrician to do it for you.
