3.6 kw charging for RV camping

[Steve52]

Not ones with a 30a main, they don’t. OP said he has a 22’ 30a coach, not a 50a. It’s single AC, I guarantee it.

Here's what the OP actually said;
"The goal is to charge at 3.6 kw since I connect the RV to 50 amps and only use about 30 amps to run all the RV functions. I want to use the remaining 20 amps to charge the car.

His rig is a 50 amp rig, not a 30 amp. He only said he uses about 30 amps on the 50 amp connection.

you’re right, I totally misread. he said he had a ‘22 leaf, not a 22’ RV.

in that case, even easier! just plug the leaf into the RV. just add a circuit for an outlet, and you can plug the leaf I to it. you could even theoretically charge it while driving if you were running the gen set.

Hi everyone. I live in a motorhome and travel for work midwest USA. I tow my 22 Nissan leaf S plus and charge on level 1 charger 1.4 kw. My charger is factory and in a pinch I can connect to the RV 50 amp at the camp sites. I want to use the 3.6kw charging ability of the car. I use a outlet 120 volt on the RV to charge it now. If I get a 3.6 kw charger and hook up a 6-20 outlet and circuit to the RV will the Leaf only charge at 3.6 kw. The goal is to charge at 3.6 kw since I connect the RV to 50 amps and only use about 30 amps to run all the RV functions. I want to use the remaining 20 amps to charge the car. I don't have enough extra power to run the 6.6 kw 30 amps charger off the RV. Any advise would be great!

I don't think you'll be able to do what you're proposing easily or cheaply (or safely).

Avoid the complications and just purchase one of those quiet (61 dBA), 8.5kW (7000kW continuous) Inverter Gensets that has a 240Vac @ 30A output.

If noise isn't a problem (or you don't care what neighboring campers think), then a capable open-frame genset can be had for about half this price.

Good Luck.

I seem to remember a set of options for setting the charge rate with the standard Nissan EVSE on our 2019 SL+. There were 3 options: 6.6, 3.3 and 1.2kW selectable on one of the screens on the dash.

I just checked, and don't see them anymore. Odd.

I believe that's just for changing the "time to x% charge" display
