To be honest I would let an electrician use them because I am not schooled in the electical field. I still have the box in my trailer but I took the wires out. I just want somebody who knows electricity to help me wire it back correctly. I don't want the trailer to blow up.
What is your opinion about a 50 amp box upgrade? I would not mind having more options with electricity, and I was told by the electrician you could put a 50 amp box in the trailer and break up the amprage. All greek to me.

Brian,
I have attaced a scan of the wire diagram from my manual. Please let me know if you have trouble reading it. It is a pdf document so I think you might be able to save and print it out. Any electrician should be able to follow the diagram and hook you back up. You can see where the main power cable goes into the power panel and you can see two wires coming out. One goes to the AC unit and the other one goes everywhere else. As I said the main breaker is 30 amp and the two sub breakers are 20 amp each.
I have decided to leave my system at 30 amps. I don't really have anything in particular that I want to add that really needs more circuitry. I think unless you want to add high current extra things such as electric heaters that you would be OK with the 30 amps. And yes if you did add a 50 amp system you could divide it up into more branch circuits than just the two 20 amp ones.
I hope this helps...
