50-AMP Hookup for a Truck Camper?
Hi everyone! We just stripped a vintage truck camper and are rewiring it from scratch. I have tons of questions, but I thought I'd start with a big picture one: is there ever a case where it would make sense to wire a truck camper to support 50-amp shore power instead of 30-amp?
From what I've read, 30-amp hookups are pretty standard on truck campers. It's not as if we need to power two air conditioners or anything so demanding. But if one ever were to come across a scenario where there are only 50-amp hookups, it is much safer to step down from a 50-amp to a 30-amp than step up from a 30-amp to a 50-amp. Have you ever come across cases where you've hooked up to 50-amp shore power? Or am I just getting distracted by hypotheticals?
Alternatively, does anyone know a resource for completely rewiring a camper? Most blogs and forums only address swapping out one component for a more modern version. I've been researching for days, but this is all I've collected thus far: ***Link Removed***
