It would be very similar to running a service panel in a house. If you have never worked with electricity, don't start now. And especially on a project like this. SAFETY FIRST. Take the RV to a RV dealer. This is what they do. IN the long run, it will be money well spent.

Yes, you can. The alternator on your boat is voltage regulated, so it will automatically taper off the charge current to maintain about 14.6 volts regardless of what the solar panel is doing. The panel is not regulated if you do not have a charge regulator installed between it and the battery, but at 5.5 watts, the most it will put out is about one half an amp. As a rule, you can take the current rating on a panel and divide it by 50, and as long as the amp hour capacity of the battery is not less than the resultant number, you do not need a charge controller, the panel will never put out enough current to overcharge the battery. If the sun is shining while the motor is running, the alternator will simply reduce its output enough to accomodate the panel, no other action is required. If you want to read more about this, look in the library for a book called, "The Complete Battery Book," by Richard Perez. Take care, Rudy

An electric home furnace is in the neighbourhood of 10 kW to 50 kW depending on the square foot area of the home. A 10 kW furnace would require a 50 amp sub feed from the main distribution panel, a 50 kW unit would require a complete 200 amp service.In colder climates the cost of operating this type of furnace would be higher. The furnace's heating elements come on in stages depending on how cold the home is on start up. As the home reaches the thermostat set point the home will be maintained by just a couple of the elements.Electric heating of the home is a very expensive way to heat, by blowing air over an element that looks like your oven element.
Depends on how much juice the sub uses ,but almost always the answer is yes especially if you want a sub that kicks at all.You'll need an amp if your subwoofer costs anywhere over about 50 USD. Otherwise the subwoofer is probably junk and you shouldn't waste your money on it anyway.
For a 50 amp service, a 6-gauge wire should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
Yes.Additional InformationBreakers and fuses protect the wires to prevent fire. The 100 Amp breaker in the meter base (main) protects the wire from the meter base to the breaker panel. The 50 Amp breaker in the breaker panel protects the wire from the breaker panel to the outlet. Sometimes the 100 amp main breaker is located in the panel.If you are asking "Can you use two 50 amp breakers for the main breakers with a 100 amp service, then yes you can. The National Electrical Code allows you to use up to 6 breakers as the main overcurrent protection.
For a 50 amp service, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safe and efficient electrical flow.
For a 50 amp RV service, a wire size of 6 AWG should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
# 10 bare copper.
To install a 50 amp breaker in a circuit panel, first turn off the power to the panel. Remove the panel cover and locate an open slot for the breaker. Connect the hot wire to the breaker, the neutral wire to the neutral bar, and the ground wire to the ground bar. Secure the breaker in place and replace the panel cover. Turn the power back on and test the circuit to ensure it is working properly.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 50 amp breaker panel is 50 amps.
AWG # 4 copper.
The appropriate wire size for a 50 amp circuit is typically 6-gauge wire.
The recommended wire size for a 50 amp breaker is typically 6-gauge wire.
