Looking at a 30 amp 5er
OK...so now we are needing to know about 30 vs 50 amps. I found a small 5er nearby that has 30 amp service. I am assuming that the rest that we have viewed all have 50 amps. What does 30 vs 50 me...

In our previous trailer, we had 30amp service...always tripping breakers and never was able to cool down the thing. Our current fifth wheel has 50amp service and we run whatever we want, including both acs, which do the job in "hot/humid" climate.
Sigh!! Sounds miserable!! So now, back to square one!! I thought I finally found a 30' rig with a full wall closet that had enough counter space! I was willing to give up the w/d, the rear window view, door side dining, just to have a shorter trailer, BUT...30 amp!! Can't be miserably hot on top of all the other sacrifices! Well...at least the choices are narrowing down, as we learn more and more!!
All you need to do is put the fridge and water heater on propane only if you are running the air conditioner.
And don't run the microwave while DW is blow drying her hair. You will have no issues with 30 amp with some minimum awareness of usage.
BTW many campground sites are 30 amps and your 50 amp RV is still limited to the power available.
As said focus on the floor plan, no water damage and general condition far more than the electric plug.
