Oh yes, i forgot, i dont have my 5th wheel anymore, but even my new M/H Coachmen has a 20 amp breaker for the micowave/convection oven. Look it up on line.

The convection oven is the reason for the 20 amp circuit. Like everything
RV. The devil is in the details.

Had a 20 amp in my FR Rockwood 8289 WS. Ask any owner, that was the unit I was referring to ask any owner of a 8289ws they will confirm. 20 amp homerun circuit.

my Whirlpool convection oven/microwave is on a 15amp circuit, within the Inverter sub panel.

Oh yes, I'm sure I'll take your advice on electrical, here is your post quoted, saying it is safe to run a a.c. like this, but you will question amperage, give me a break, the devil is in the details how do you know what microwave, or microwave/ convection oven I had in my trailer? Thank you.

FWIW, my FW has both A/C units (factory installed) on the same 50A breaker. I thought that was odd, but it has worked with no apparent problem.

If you don't have a third AC you wouldn't have a breaker for it. Ours have a third AC and a dishwasher and that takes up the spare breaker.

Was the hole fabricated or did you have to make it? If factory hole, was it forward or aft of prewire box, thanks

I'm sure you can Jerry rig something if want to take the chance on your electrical, i wouldn't recommend playing around with your panel.

Ours has 3 AC and a power management system. Our neighbor at the campground added a third AC with it's own thermostat without a power management system. When he turns on his third AC, it knocks power out to ours as we also have a EMS on our plug. I draws so many amps and without an EMS on his plug or in his breaker box, he will probably burn it to the ground someday.
