Even if the 2006 was designed for 50 Amps, putting in two 50 Amp breakers in parallel is just plain unsafe unless the system is designed for 100 Amps. Something is totally amiss here. Rich, I think you sometimes forget that most of us don't have easy access to the Goshen Service Center like you have had. We have to deal with phone calls, local dealers and their service personnel, etc. We have one breaker which was replaced under warranty and we have not had problems since. Two in parallel will never be installed on any RV that I own. Parallel circuit breakers are never designed in and never should or will be used in acceptable electrical designs by a registered Electrical Engineer. It is a bandaid that is dangerous.
