Hi, I have the same question myself. I spoke to a electrician today he suggested I go with a new* 50 amp service in my camper do away with the old 30 Amp service all together off the new 50 amp service run 30 amp side of the breaker to my airconditioner or my stackable 220 washer/dryer combo and put couple other 15-20 amp breakers in my box for my lighting he suggested that way it also allows play for adding or modifying my breaker box as my needs change its always better to have more than not enough he quoted.... hope this helps a little
What else can I help you with?
What type of wire should be used for a 50 amp service?
For a 50 amp service, a 6-gauge wire should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
How many 50 amp breakers feeding 50 amp outlets can you install from a 125 amp main panel?
Three or four would be normal. The total current should not exceed the rating of the main panel, so depending on how intensively the different circuits are used, more could be installed.
Can you put a 25 amp fuse in a 50 amp maxi fuse holder?
Install the fuse that is required for the circuit.
What size wire should be used for a 50 amp RV service?
For a 50 amp RV service, a wire size of 6 AWG should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
How many 20 amp circuits can you run on a 50 amp service?
In the United States, there isn't a hard limit on how many 20 amp circuits that can be run on a 50 amp supply. This is because in most cases, especially in homes, we don't load most circuits with more than an amp or 2, even when they are protected by a 20 amp breaker. From a practical perspective you probably have a limited number of slots for breakers in your service or supply panel.
What size wire do you need to run overhead to a 50 amp service five hundred feet away?
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
How many 50 amp breakers on 200 amp service?
In a 200 amp service panel, you can technically install multiple 50 amp breakers as long as the total load does not exceed the panel's capacity. However, the number of breakers is also subject to local electrical codes and regulations. Generally, the total amperage of all breakers should not exceed 200 amps, considering the load calculations. Always consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.
Does a 30 amp camper plug have 220 volts?
No, a 30 amp shore power plug is strictly 120volts. A 50 amp shore power plug is technically a 220v system, however the camper uses the two 120v wires in the cord separately. There are no 220v appliances in RV's today.
What are the necessary specifications for installing a 50 amp outdoor receptacle?

It is important to follow all local electrical codes and regulations when installing the receptacle.
What gauge Aluminum underground wire will you need to install a 50 amp service in a outbuilding - 215 feet?
I would use AWG #4 for that run in alluminum. You will have a 3.8% voltage drop which is acceptible.
