Thank you for visiting. Below is the YouTube clip along with details and links to the items seen in the video in case you’d like to purchase them.

I installed a GE Window Air Conditioner 8000 BTU in my camper van and wanted to know how many watts did it pull. I connected an Electric Usage Monitor between the outlet at my camper van to measure how many watts it pulled along with a hi and a low and let it run for 18min.

I did have a 12 Volt Refrigerator pulling 14 watts during this test. I ran the AC for 18 minutes which resulted in:

  • Kwh: .209 Kwh
  • Volts: 117.3
  • Amps: 6.752
  • Low Watts Recorded: 14.1
  • High Watts Recorded: 786.0
