Thanks, John.

I should be able to get the specifics this week-end, when we will be
starting to set up the RV, so will report back then.

If it's the sg23 or what ever the 23 amp model of samlex is, I know it ends
in a 23, I have run that at special event stations before with a 2 meter
radio and my IC-706 on HF before and it doesn't complain or get hot so you
should be set. I was at one event even with those radios making contacts,
then a third radio just monitoring a frequency for ops for that event and it
still didn't complain.
