Why 30 amp and not 50 amp
Why not build all RV’s with 50 amp service ? With AC, microwaves, electronic water heaters plus numerous other electrical appliances we take with us it seems to make More sense to have 50 amp

Hi,
I actually prefer 30 amp to 50 amp. It is easy to add auxiliary shore power cords, which I have done for winter use. My peak load, in extreme cold, is 7700 watts.
The rest of the year I can manage on as little as 15 amps. That's great for visiting folks where power is often only 15 amps.
I do limit my consumption to 80% of what ever amperage is available to me.
