Thanks a ton everyone for your responses,especially to shooted for sharing his build and to 12thgenusa who summed up the benefits of the CAM switch really well. We're going to go ahead and move forward with the CAM switch. Maybe as we grow our rig we'll change that in the future, but for now it feels like the best option. The one thing that we are considering more heavily is upgrading to the 50amp panel - or a panel that can handle a 50amp set up, along with a 50amp surge protector (since from what I've read the 50amp hard-wired progressives will work just fine on 30amp services). A bunch of you mentioned the limitations that 30amps could have on future upgrades, not the mention the fact that you can wire 50amp to 30amp but not the other way around ... it makes sense to set up for 50amps now. Thanks again for looking over everything and providing your feedback. I hope to have pictures up soon as we move along in the process and to share the issues we come across in the future.
