If you're buying a fifth wheel or trailer go for the Fifty amp. Should be all that is installed in MH.
Our Fifth Wheel was 50 amp with only one ac but provision for a second ac and a generator.
Depending on hwo well the rv is insulated a single ac is not likely to be enough in Fla or Southwest, especially when it hits 110 degrees or more.
our mh will run both aac's on 30amp but not much else and not at all campgrounds depending on voltage etc.. You can always use a 30 amp pigtail on a 30 amp service but not a fifty amp adapter on 30 amp service.
With tv,heat pump(s) water heater, lights and convection/microwave oven or other things30 amp is just not enough. Some people use small heaters in colder climate and 30 amp is just not enough with anything else or by itself.
You can make do of course with 30 amp but why?
