First Claim
1. A power control system for a recreational vehicle comprising:
- a connector adapted for receiving electrical current from a source of shore power, the connector for connecting the recreational vehicle to the source of shore power;
a sensor for automatically determining the amp service level of the shore power input to the recreational vehicle; and
means for setting an electrical system not to exceed the sensed amp service level of the shore power.

Abstract
A recreational vehicle includes a chassis having a living space, an electrical system for providing electrical power to the living space, an air conditioner for cooling the living space, a heater for heating the living space, and a plurality of appliances within the living space attached to the electrical system. The recreational vehicle also includes an engine for moving the recreational vehicle, a motor generator for supplying power to the recreational vehicle, a connector for connecting the electrical system of the recreational vehicle to an external power source, and a local area network system electrically connected to the air conditioner, the heater, the plurality of appliances, and the motor generator. The local area network manages the power provided to the to the electrical appliances. A display positioned within the living space shows data related to the air conditioner, the heater, the plurality of appliances, the motor generator and the engine.
