• Will The 50amp Hughes Autoformer Voltage Booster/Surge Protector Work On 30amp Service Pedestals
  Since you're using a 30amp pedestal the Hughes Autoformer Voltage Booster with Surge Protection - 50 Amp # HU57FR isn't going to boost that power to 50amp. The booster is meant to give you steady service so that you don't experience a voltage drop. For example if it's the middle of August and everyone at the campground has their AC units kick on at the same time it could pull too much from the campground and you and others would experience a voltage drop and surge which could potentially...

  It is best to match any surge protector to the service of the RV.

If the battery is too low, it simply will not have the required amperage to operate the jack but may have enough to power the other functions you mentioned in your question. I recommend testing the battery to see if this is the issue. Next you can check the ground connection for the jack. Most likely, your jack will ground through the mounting hardware, so check to make sure that there is not...

All these do the same as the Camco listed above just a different color for that brand. Since you mentioned connecting to a generator I also recommend verifying the...

• Best Power Cord for a 2017 Forest River Sandpiper Fifth Wheel

  If you're only getting 30 amp service then you're just going to to have to figure out how many amps the window unit draws to determine if you can run it along with other items in your trailer.
