Just to clarify your line of thinking- it isn't a converter. All it does is allow your trailer to plug into a standard household plug. Both put power through at 120 volts. However amps are cumulative. So if your fridge takes 1.2, let's add a water heater at 8 amps, microwave at 10 amps, air conditioner at 12 amps, and lights at 5 amps.
So if you were hooked up to 30 amp power, you could have most of those running at the same time. If you had to have the microwave and A/C on, you couldn't also be using the electric water heater.
However at home you only have 15 amps, so you can really only use your low draw systems like the fridge, lights, etc. If you wanted to run the A/C you couldn't have anything else on.
Another way to look at it is that your house likely has 100 amps of power going to it. If Enmax said they were cutting everybody back to 50 amps, you would have to watch that you didn't run the stove, fridge and clothes dryer at the same time.
