This is our first summer with the Oasis and I primarily use AC1&2. Now that temps are steady in the 90’s in the east, do I gain any advantage whatsoever to put it on AC1 when plugged into 50 Amp?

Hi -- It will just recover more slowly.

That setting never works fast enough for us. We go with both.

I agree with Tom and Ken.... The single element really doesn't keep up. We leave ours on both, and in colder areas use the burner as well when using the showers.

To answer your question about advantages... There is really no advantage to you to use just one other than lower power draw and maybe conserving wear on the second element. If you are on 50A service, I would just stick with both

The only advantage I could see is if you with your choice of which A/C's and appliances to use are overloading one leg of you 50 amps, you could turn off the heat element that is on that leg. I have the silverleaf and it displays information to determine this. I don't know if your rig has gauges to see this.
