Electrical assistance

I’m seeking some advice on a possible upgrade. I own a 2023 Keystone Springdale(30 amp). My camper is prepared for a second ac unit( so I was told at the dealership). I did manage to find 2 pink wires, and 2 white wires running to the bathroom but the have enough slack to reach the bedroom. Is that the correct wires for a second unit?

My next questions is, if I put a second ac unit in my camper, do I need to upgrade it to a 50 amp service?

  • Not even the same power source. Fart fan is 12V DC. 
    air conditioner is the other kind…

    May wanna leave this one to the pros or at least make sure your insurance is paid up and it’s not parked next to your house or a forest. Lol

  • nope thats your 12v power that feed the fan, the wires for the ac should be in the bedroom vent its self if it is prewired.  and yes if you want to run both at the same time you should upgrade like I said in your other post.

      Never understood why manufacturers pre-wire units for a second AC and the RV itself is only set up for 30A. I mean I get why, its cost, but most people probably aren't aware it's not as simple as just adding the AC unit. It's a bit of a tease. If it's pre-wired for a second AC, it should be 50A from the factory to accommodate it.

        depends if they are using a detachable cord or not, some times if it is the cord that just pushes into the rv and birdsnests under a drawer or somthing they will leave it 30 amp as a 50 amp cord dosent coil up nice when pushed in.  in this case you get a outside plug for the rv and buy a 50 amp cord.
