Expanding AC distribution panel
I'm looking at options for expanding the AC dist. on a Parallax 6300 dist. panel.

What are you working on and trying to accomplish?
The issue I have is that in building construction there is oversight by electrical inspectors & engineers, but nothing when in comes to RVs. RV manufacturers can crank out RV after RV with electrical issues and there is nobody to ensure it's done correctly or safely and no authority having jurisdiction that you can file a complaint with. You can hire a master electrician or a monkey to do work on the RV you own and there's no need for a permit or inspection. If it burns down or you electrocute someone, that could be a different matter tho. Can't you just swap out breakers for a tandem type to get more circuits?
I made my own demand controller for the permanent electric heating I installed using a current sensing relay (adjustable type) installed in a separate elec. box.
CAPTCHA has got me today and give up trying to add more... :M

There is nothing in the CEC or in any standards that apply to RVs built in Canada (are any now?) or for CGs here. The NEC has many cross-references to related standards/regulations like UL & NFPA and these are often recognized in Canada and if not, we have numerous CSA standards that apply. There is another entire article (section) in the NEC covering just mobile homes.
I'm uncertain of NEC codes for an RV which are probably required for RV manufacturing similar to automobile manufacturing requires to pass certain DOT regulations.
