Converting to 50 amp

[allen8106]

How hard would it be to convert a 30 amp 5ver (or TT for that matter) to 50 amp? Has anyone ever done it?

An alternative is to add a new 50A panel and cord. A 30A CB feeds the existing panel which is now a subpanel. Rewire any current or new circuits to the new panel as desired.

yep, shouldn't be too involved other than finding space, places to run wires, etc. shouldn't need to be a nuclear surgeon or brain scientist to do it.

Never done it, but have read where it has been done. If your not good with electrical just have it done. You can do it probably a weekend job. Depends how deep you have to did in your Rv to find everything. You will have to replace the electrical panel, shore power cord, some of the existing wiring, and if thinking about installing a second Ac then getting the wire to the roof. Good luck if you do and keep us posted on the mod.
