We have the progressive industries PT-50C surge protection That gives a digital readout on both legs of the 50 amp power at the CG. Power pedestal and records the current the camper is drawing. You post would indicate something wrong at the pedestal and the PT-50C would have helped in determining that. We can tell you that the hot water heater on electric(3400) draws 12 amps, The furnace 10 amps,the on board vacuum, 8 amps. The fridge does not draw much at all. With the hot water tank on propane, fridge on electric, and normal power usage in the camper, Tv on , Various lighting, etc we will draw 2 amps on leg 1 and 4 amps on leg 2. Our electric bill last month, In Centrial Florida,The furnace may have run 2 or three nights, we ran a electric heater most every every night on high, 9.62 amps(the bird) and ran the hot water tank on Electric all month ..the bill was 73.42. Now I think that is high for a 400 square ft Camper.
