Is a 50amp service worth the upgrade?
We are starting to do research for a new trailer for next year, I am debating getting a 50 amp service. It is an option for most TT 's and not easy to find them on the lot (seems most fivers have them...

You didn't say what size trailer.
If your new trailer is large and has two AC units, then by all means you will want/need 50 amps.
If the trailer is smaller and has only one AC unit, you won't need 50 amps and if you are paying a lot more for it, I wouldn't waste my money on it.
We have a 25 foot trailer with one AC unit, and with the AC running, we can use the microwave without any problems.
We have never tripped the main breaker.
If you do find a trailer with 50 amps, and the cost for it is not much more then 30 amps. then by all means get it
