    Hot water heater.
    I live in a camper with a 15 amp electrical system.
    I have a new 6 gallon Whirlpool water heater that is
    Rated at 1650 watts. Will the 1650 watts overload my
    15 amp system. I am nervous about an electrical fire.
    My friend advised me to replace the heating element
    With a 900 or 1000 watt element. Please advise.
