Wiring Air Conditioning to 30 amp Panel
Hello,
I have a 1985 Jayco travel trailer that I'd like to install an air conditioner in. The camper is already wired for A/C with a wire from the ceiling to close to the breaker box. I took a look at how the breaker box was wired and I think it needs some work. It's a two breaker box with a single screw for the black hot wire on either side (one for each breaker). The left side has a double 15 amp. If I need to add a 20 amp breaker it has to go on the right. Can I jumper the hot wire over to the right breaker to power it? Or should I reconfigure it with a 30 amp main breaker going to a sub panel with multiple breakers? How would these be setup from the factory?
Thanks for your help,
Jeremy
