Should you be concerned with the lower amp rating:
Most likely answer is NO,
But if you have a lot of light bulbs you could hit 45 amps.
1 1141 is about an amp and a half, a 1156 around 2 amps.. Your fridge needs a couple as does the water heater. (even if running on propane) the big suckers are the water pump and furnace.. but the water pump only runs on occasion.
And going from the 45 to the 55 in the old trailer will likely not cause any issues either though the purist will say to upgrade the wires.
