Hi Louis,

The power draw of the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34280055 is going to vary greatly depending on the load placed on it. The maximum power consumption at a full load is going to be roughly 160 - 180 amps. With no load the power consumption will sit around 25 watts and when in standby mode will drop to less than 5 watts. You'll likely never be at full load for the unit so it likely won't ever rise high enough to hit 160 - 180 amps. You can try testing the power wire with a clamp multimeter to read how many amps are passing through and get a more accurate answer of what the draw is. Just keep in mind the more items running in the trailer the higher the amperage will be.
