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

They do build 'em with 50 amps mine is proof and it's plugged into 50 amps just now at 93 degrees (official outside temp) and no shade you better believe I'm on 50 amps (2 air conditioners both workign overtime)
If you only have one A/C a bit of power management (Do not use A/C. Microwave and Water heater all at once) you should be good on 30.
Some (mostly high end 50 amp rigs) have Intelletec Energy Management Systems (EMS. one of several EMS meanings) that will shut stuff off and swap two air conditioners so one runs then the other runs then back and forth according to the program.
But if you ask. they will make any RV 50 amps.
That said. Where I'm parked just now half of the sites are 50 amps and half are 30 Every other site. So if you are a 50 amp rig and there are not 50 amp sites left. you are going to be a 30 amp rig for the stay.
