No matter what is on, whether it is the microwave, tv, fireplace, a/c or whatever I have to turn it all off so I can blow dry my hair. There is something with the hair dryer that trips the breaker ALL the time. We can have 1 tv and the hair dryer going at the same time if we are plugged in using the 50amp or 30amp cord. If we are using the orange 110 at Mike's parents house I shut EVERYTHING off or it will trip the breaker. They could have wired these things better.
If you are using the "orange cord" you are plugged into house 110 which is usually 20 amps but ocasionally 15. It doesn't matter that you are plugged into a 30 amp trailer. All you are getting out of the wire is 20.
