New wiring Job

Trying to wrap my head around how to set up my power panel...using components that I already have.

This is the way I see it. Please pipe in if you see something that is not right or needs another look. None of this is set. The ruff wiring is in and I need to get serious so I can start buttoning up the inside. No need for inverter.

Thanks in advance.

I believe you mean to have the main circuit breaker in the same panel as the branch circuit breakers.

You show GFCI at number 5 and then an outlets at number 3. I would think it should be number 3 GFCI outlets which should likely cover the microwave too.

Batteries between charger and Blue Sea panel or no batteries?

If you can combine two of your ac circuits, Airstream typically has placed a 30A breaker in position 1 and attached the incoming shore power to it. This backfeeds the bussbar in the panel to the other breakers.

The fridge, iirc, is only about 2.5A so you should be able to combine it with something else.

Updated New Picture

Thanks for the replies...I can see that I was to vague. Let me try this again.

sfschwend. The reason I had 2 boxes was that I ran out of room on my mini box. I am now rethinking and using al and missy idea to combine Charger and maybe outlets? My fridge is ac and dc so I would like that to be on a separate breaker.

Also I was not clear on my breakers. I have one breaker for 3 outlets that do not need to be GFIC. The gfic is for the bathroom and outside outlet.

There will be two 6v 220 ah batteries. Hopefully new drawing and explanation is clearer. Please add any more comments.

Thanks
