Can I use a standard home 1000W toaster oven in the pod when connected to external 120VAC power?

1000 watts at 120 volts is just 8.3 amps, so even a 14 gauge 100 foot extension cord could handle that by itself. If you're also running the refrigerator and AC, then you need a 20 or 30 amp cord. |

Plan on only running one of the other "big 3" appliances at the same time. A/C, microwave, electric element in the water heater.

Even with a 30 amp connection with the standard cable that comes with the pod?

Yes, even with the big cord.. you only have 30A to use, couple of heavy draw items at the same time and you will open a breaker. My wife has been known to get out of the shower.. water heater is in recovery mode, a/c is on, fridge on a/c and I was just in it getting out breakfast stuff.... and she plugs in her blow dryer... Usually only happens once per outing.
 But does happen almost every time.  |

good info, but my wife says she isn't suing the tiny shower. first grungy campsite bathhouse she finds that will probably change.
