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

What is your load requirement? More circuits for intermittent, seldom used loads or for say electric heat in the winter & higher demand than normal? A lot can be squeezed out of 30 amps depending on needs and 30 amps can be run continuous at 30 amps (unless a pedestal breaker is tired) and in fact can be run over 30 amps for a bit depending on how much over and for how long (it's how breakers work).
My load requirement aren't great except when I need to use an electric pressure washer that likes to trip my breakers.
I have a 5 amp freezer, conveter, 12 volt lighting and 12 volts for the frigs.
In the winter I run a ceramic element electric heater with thermostat
on the low setting. As most electric heaters will blow 20 amp breakers for a 30 amp service when set to high.
I also have a Samsung 1300 watt convection oven that's 900 watt micro and 1300 convection. Hasn't caused any problem what so ever connected to the RV's microwave receptacle.
I'm planning on removing the batteries so the converter really only needed for dc lighting and the frig.
