I just added a 50 amp supply to my trailer
We have a brand new 40 foot long Forest River trailer that only has a thirty amp 120 volt supply. It has a 15,000 BTU AC unit and a residential refrigerator. Three different times the 30 amp breaker...

Did the same thing in my (sold now) TT. Worked great. Also ran and outlet off the "new phase" for an electric heater. Never tripped a breaker again.
The wire is what cost the most.
Yea the cost of the 50A cable and Trailer end connection is what drove me to install a dual 30A system for a total of 60A over a true 50A system. The cost of just a 50A Marinco type shore power cord would come close to costing $150 and with the Trailer end drives just the cost of the stuff external to the trailer in excess of $150. I'm sure you could go cheap on the 50A cord, but then you have the issue of messing with that 2x6 board in colder weather not to mention the weight.
I'm also waiting for pics to see exactly what was installed.
