If its like the other rPods you have a 15A interior circuit so that would be a max of about 1800 watts, same as a typical household circuit. But you will be connected to a 30A shore power receptacle so if you're running your a/c, water heater (on electric), refrigerator (on electric) and/or microwave you can potentially have less than that available for the interior circuit.

I see that some 193s do have the solar package, which likely includes an inverter. The inverter on our 195 has a 12-Amp breaker that affects the current draw available on all of the 110 outlets, as I found out last year at this time when plugging in a space heater and cranking it up to full power (1500 watts/12.5 Amps or more). Breaker tripped and no juice was available to outlets.
Just to be clear, this was on shore power as that breaker is on a pass-through circuit and does limit the total draw to 12 amps regardless.

For 12A breaker, the maximum would be 1440 watts. You would need to see everything that is on that, not just what you want to plug in. If there is anything else drawing power, then what you can plug in would be less.
