Ok I have a park model with a 50amp service- I want to add a washer and drier- the drier is a residential 220

What are my options to hook this up.

My thought was split the 50amp service into a regular panel I would have to add then pull 220 for the drier and pull 2 50 amp single pulls to the service panel in the park model.

Thoughts?

Why not just get a propane dryer?

Don't have access to it easily

Depends where you can locate your new panel, if you can disconnect the incoming wiring and move it to the new panel, then you could run new wire to the incoming connection. I would use a panel with big enough lugs on the input so you put both the incoming wires as well as the wire going to park model panel under the same lugs. There is no reason to install additional 50 amp breakers for the trailer, just one 30 amp double pole for the dryer. You will have to watch what you turn on while the dryer is running.

The cord to the park model has 15' extra slack so I was just going to cut it in half- but sounds like I can just put both wires in each lug.

What box do you recommend to supply a 30 amp drier and 20amp washer?

Something like this
Square D Homeline 100 Amp 6-Space 12-Circuit Indoor Surface Mount Main Lug Load Center with Cover-HOM612L100SCP - The Home Depot

Where do the hide the amp main breaker? Under the cover? Or does it use 2 of the slots?

Which model power panel do you now have?

You may be able to run a cable from the sub feeds in the panel to a 4 circuit breaker panel close to the existing panel and then run wiring from there to the washer and dryer plugs.

You don't need a main breaker for anything. The new panel is protected by the campground breaker and the trailer does not see any change as the wire still comes from the campground breaker to the main panel it just has a tap off it for the new panel.
