Elec. sys. remodel - suggestions wanted 1984FC35SB

[Don Bradner]

The '09 that was out here in Quartzsite yesterday had a 220v dryer.

The 50-amp service on an RV is 220, but is normally used as two 110 legs. That
means 50-amps is really 100 amps at 110v, so it will always be better than two
separate 30-amp 110 circuits.
