Two main reasons for me: 1) I don't want our nice detachable 30A cord laying out exposed to the elements year round when a cheap 15A cord will run just the dehumidifier just fine (said cord also has to run across our driveway from outlet to camper, and I'd rather run over a relatively inexpensive 15A cord when I'm too lazy to get out and unplug cord, move cord, drive through, re-plug cord, etc.), and 2) we live out in the boonies at the very end of our power provider's service line, and we absorb numerous power surges, some from lightning strikes, throughout the year, and I'd just as soon our camper's nice EMS system wasn't at risk every time a thunder storm blows through - which is nearly every afternoon during Summer here in the South - just to run that little 2 amp dehumidifier. But that's just me....
