Can I Convert My 30 Amp RV To A 50 Amp RV?

by Anonymous




Our RV electrical system is 30 amps, what do we need to do to convert it to 50 amps?

------------------------------------------------------------------
Note From RVing Al:
Greetings thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page. I am sure that you can convert a 30 Amp RV electrical system to a 50 amp system. But I am also very sure that it will be an expensive conversion.

Maybe one of our visitors have done such a conversion, so I am opening up this question to our visitors to see if they can explain how they did it and also let you know how much it cost to do the conversion.

If you have an answer to this question please click on the "Click Here To Post Comments" link located near the bottom of this page.

Happy RVing

30 to 50 amps
by: hollis

So what I think I have read is, I need new braker panel 110 to 220 and new wire from the new panel to shore power, size that is right for a 50 amp suppy. Thanks

The main breaker panel has to be upgraded from a 110v single leg to a 220v dual leg. Auto transfer switch and shore cord.

30 to 50 amp
by: Robert

Actually, the biggest issue is running the wire. If you upgrade to 50 amp you will need to find the correct size wire (rated for 50 amp). You only need to run the wire from the plug for the home to the main circuit breaker. All the other wires will stay the same.
