Electrical assistance
I’m seeking some advice on a possible upgrade. I own a 2023 Keystone Springdale(30 amp). My camper is prepared for a second ac unit( so I was told at the dealership). I did manage to find 2 pink wire...

nope thats your 12v power that feed the fan, the wires for the ac should be in the bedroom vent its self if it is prewired. and yes if you want to run both at the same time you should upgrade like I said in your other post.
Never understood why manufacturers pre-wire units for a second AC and the RV itself is only set up for 30A. I mean I get why, its cost, but most people probably aren't aware it's not as simple as just adding the AC unit. It's a bit of a tease. If it's pre-wired for a second AC, it should be 50A from the factory to accommodate it.
It may be a half as** hybrid. I doubt they are doing completely different wiring in the same model. Did they put in a 50amp panel but wire both legs of the panel to the same leg of the 30amp inlet power source (kind of like a 30amp-50amp dog bone connector but internal). That would make for a simple and relatively cheap upgrade. If he needs a whole new breaker panel, that would be a significantly bigger project.
The OP probably needs someone who knows what they are looking at to check out the trailer and if needed make the appropriate changes because 30amp isn't a good plan to run 2 air/con units, even if you can get them to work, expect to burn up power cords if the pedestal breaker doesn't pop.
Wouldn't he also need the external plug installed for a 50A as well as a new 50A cord?
depends if they are using a detachable cord or not, some times if it is the cord that just pushes into the rv and birdsnests under a drawer or somthing they will leave it 30 amp as a 50 amp cord dosent coil up nice when pushed in. in this case you get a outside plug for the rv and buy a 50 amp cord.
