    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    I don't disagree with any of this. Let me paraphrase and emphasize some things you didn't. Correct any misconception I have: Feed the RV 26amps of 240v. The RV will split it out to 52amps of 120v and will do a better job balancing it than we can. The 6/4 cable is good, and probably overkill...

    When it's hot outside and time to do laundry you're going to have to choose between the air conditioner and the water heater.

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Yes absolutely. But if you drop it to 120v by whatever means, that 26amps becomes 52amps. The relationship of amps times volts = watts remains constant. Watt value shouldn't exceed 6000.

    I can't' read your black on OD list of what uses what. I tried unsuccessfully to change the color. My goal was to see if you're likely to see exceed 6kW.

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Your battery charger looks big and bad. I find it plausible it pulls 20 amps of 120v. (Edit - looks more like 10amps, I didn't see the red) 120v x 50 amps = 6000 watts = 240v x 25 amps = just about all that very nice little Lister Petter is going to do.

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    50 amps at 120v = 6000 watts. I'd consider that a hard limit. We were playing with an MEP802 using my plasma cutter. My plasma cutter is 240V 50 amps. Like clockwork, if we turned it past halfway (25 amps @ 240v) the 802 would drop the load.

    How many amps of 120v single phase do you plan to run at once?

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    12,000 watts on a 5000 watt genset just won't go. You're going to have to do some load management or get a bigger generator.
