so am i right in thinking unless you have a good electric supply you cant have the aircon running at night while sleeping?
and if thats the case while i was in italy and needed it the most and the 3 and 6 amp supply would have not been enough to run it?

Yes and no..
The smallest Dometic has a cooling capacity of 1kw , uses 2.1A , this will run on a 3A supply but MAY trip the ehu breaker on start up .. so if you really want one it's worth the risk.. provided you can reset the breaker without having to wake the site commandant ..

Jim I might be talking out of the wrong hole I am a mechanic not a sparky, but couldnt start up be softened so as not to have such a surge on start up.
All the best Rick
All Dometic units are have "soft start" relays.
Hope this helps
