[QUOTE=mhs4771;1201122]A few things: A 20 amp and 30 amp breaker does not make for a 50 amp service. A 50 amp service box has TWO 50 amp breakers.

The trailer has a 50 amp cord. As I understand it, One of the hot wires will power one breaker and the other hot wire will power the other breaker. The 20 amp breaker seems to controll the air conditioner. (There is only one.) The 30 amp breaker seems to carry everything else. The 20 and 30 amp breakers in the first box connect to a 30 and 30 amp breaker in the 2nd box. The 30 amp then powers 4 15 amp breakers which did confuse me because that equals 60 amps. The only heavy draw item we will be using is the microwave.
